History
Pashan Garh, a Taj Safari lodge in Panna National Park in Madhya Pradesh, India, takes its name from the Hindi for 'stone fortress'. The lodge is a cluster of twelve rough-hewn stone cottages set atop a small hill within some 200 acres of private wilderness, its architecture inspired by the dry-packed stone houses traditional to the Panna region.
Each standalone, air-conditioned cottage is screened by trees and merges into the rolling landscape, with chunky stone interiors, a fireplace built into the stone wall and a private gazebo. Communal areas open onto courtyards and a stone deck overlooking the forest, and a covered sit-out gazebo features sculptured panels inspired by the carvings of the nearby Khajuraho temples. A lookout tower serves for birdwatching and stargazing, and a rectangular pool lies under shady trees. The lodge is one of the Taj Safaris collection operated in India's tiger-country national parks.
