Itinerary
You will be picked up from fixed point / hotel leave for sightseeing. Panna is situated at the junction of the Gangetic plains and the Deccan peninsula. The Panna hills provide a catchment area for the River Ken, which is the life line of the park. Also take a jungle safari through Panna National Park. Watch tigers as they roam freely along with leopards, wild dogs, wolves, hyenas and smaller cats. The Sloth bear has his favorite home in the rock escarpments and undisturbed vales. The wooded areas are dotted with Sambar the largest of Indian deers, Chital and Chowsinghas. One can easily see a Blue Bull and Chinkara in the grasslands, especially on the periphery. The avifauna comprises more than 200 species including a host of migratory birds. One can see the White Necked Stork, Bareheaded Goose, Honey Buzzard, Blossom Headed Parakeet, Paradise Flycatcher and about 5 species of vultures.
Also visit the Pandav Falls and Caves situated at a distance of about 10 miles from Panna National Park. The exiled Pandava brothers of the Hindu epic, Mahabharata, are believed to have taken shelter here. Explore these mystical caves and lovely waterfalls on the River Ken.
Next take a boat ride on the River Ken to the Ken Gharial Sanctuary. As the river meanders past tall gorges and thick foliage, you can catch a glimpse of Gharial and Mugger Crocodiles (fish eating crocodiles). Located at the confluence of the Rivers Ken and Khuddar, the ecosystem of the sanctuary offers a great opportunity for bird watching, especially in the winter months when migratory birds flock here. Once your tour will be finished you will be driven back to fixed point / your hotel.

About Khajuraho
Khajuraho is a small town in central India known for its World Heritage temples, richly carved with sculpture and about a thousand years old.
Khajuraho lies in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh, among farmland and low hills. Its temples were built by the Chandela dynasty between about 950 and 1050, and roughly a quarter of the original number survive. The Western Group, set in landscaped gardens, includes the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple, whose tall spire is covered in sculpture.
