Pashan Garh, A Taj Safari is an ultra-premium wildlife lodge on the edge of the Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, run by Taj Safaris, IHCL's dedicated safari brand. The name means 'house of stone', and the lodge is built as twelve standalone stone cottages set along a seasonal stream, their irregular roofs echoing the dry-stone architecture of the Panna region. A watering hole frequented by antelope and other wildlife is visible from the property. This is a small, exclusive, all-inclusive lodge — the experience is built around game drives, naturalists and the surrounding forest rather than the scale of a conventional hotel.
The lodge lies on the Amanganj–Panna–Khajuraho road, close to the reserve. The nearest airport is Khajuraho Airport, about 45 km away, around a one-hour transfer — unusually convenient for a wilderness lodge, and the same airport that serves the famous Khajuraho temples. Many guests combine a Panna safari with a visit to the UNESCO-listed temples. Road transfers and airport pick-ups are arranged by the lodge. The reserve gate is only a couple of kilometres away, keeping early-morning drives short.
All accommodation is in the twelve stone cottages. Each is a private, freestanding unit with a king-size bed facing a large picture window onto the woodland, interiors in chocolate linen and block-printed silk inspired by the Khajuraho temple carvings, saddle-stitched leather accents and a distinctive central shower flanked by twin wash basins. The cottages are deliberately rustic in feel but fully appointed, giving privacy and a strong sense of being out in the bush while keeping Taj-level comfort.
Dining is all-inclusive and experiential. Meals are served in a single dining hall and, weather permitting, at a series of changing settings — twelve palanquins set out in open woodland, private tables under the trees, bush breakfasts and in-cottage dinners. Menus blend Indian and international dishes, often with regional touches, and the small guest numbers allow the kitchen to tailor meals closely. Sundowners around a bonfire are a regular fixture.
Facilities centre on the wilderness experience but are genuinely indulgent: an outdoor swimming pool, a spa with signature therapies, and yoga and meditation sessions. Between game drives there are guided nature walks, birding and a library-lounge to relax in. With only twelve cottages, service is highly personal and the pace is unhurried — the focus is on rest, food and wildlife rather than a long amenities list.
The heart of a stay here is the game drive: naturalist-led safaris into Panna Tiger Reserve, trained to standards set by safari specialist andBeyond, in search of tigers, leopards, sloth bears, antelope and the reserve's rich birdlife. The Ken River and its gharial habitat, Pandav Falls and Pandav Caves are within easy reach, and boat safaris on the Ken can sometimes be arranged. The standout cultural excursion is the Khajuraho temples, around 45 km away — a UNESCO World Heritage site of medieval carved sandstone temples that pairs naturally with the wildlife stay.
Pashan Garh is for travellers who want a genuine luxury safari — wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, honeymooners and those after a quiet, design-led nature retreat with first-rate food and service. Its proximity to Khajuraho makes it ideal for combining a tiger safari with one of India's great temple sites. It is not a conventional resort: there are just twelve cottages, the rhythm follows the park's safari timings, and the reserve typically closes during the monsoon, so dates should be checked before booking.
