Panna National Park Tiger

Over 200 species of birds, rare endangered vulture species, Royal Bengal Tigers and the menacing gharial, a wildlife safari in Panna National Park has unlimited excitement and thrill in store for you!

Sure, spotting the Royal Bengal Tiger is a convincing reason to visit Panna National Park, as there are around 35 of them in all. But here’s a reason that is even more convincing. The Park is home to different species of rare and endangered vultures, who use it as their nesting and breeding grounds. These vultures are not seen anywhere else in India. That is special, because, do you remember the last time you spotted a vulture, let alone so many vultures at one place?

Panna National Park is located in the Vindhya Hill in the northern part of Madhya Pradesh . The national park, with an area of 542.67 square kilometres, stretches across the districts of Panna and Chhatarpur. At one point in time, these forests served as the hunting grounds for rulers of neighbouring princely states like Bijawar and Chhatarpur.

The Park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1981, and the 22nd tiger reserve of India in 1993. It was also awarded the Award of Excellence in 2007 by the Ministry of Tourism, for being the best maintained national park in India. In 2020, the park was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and it was recognised as a critical tiger habitat.

The Park is also special in many other ways. Gharial, an enormous reptile found exclusively in the Indian subcontinent, can be spotted at Panna at the Ken Gharial Sanctuary, located at the bank of the River Ken. The River Ken, which flows throughout the reserve, is a tributary of the River Yamuna. One of the highest waterfalls in India, Pandava Falls, which falls from a height of almost 98 feet to join the River Ken, is also situated here, and is a major tourist attraction.

A wildlife safari in Panna Tiger Reserve offers you the opportunity of spotting several endangered species of animals including leopard and chinkara, and exotic animals like nilgai, sloth bear and sambar in their natural habitat. Bird lovers also have a lot to look forward to, as the park houses more than 200 species of birds. The flora of the park is described as dynamic dry deciduous forest, which undergoes a transformation from lush green during the monsoons to desolate dry grey in the summers.

The richness of Panna National Park is present in both its flora and fauna. The different kinds of fauna found in the park are mammals, birds and reptiles.

The prime bird spotting attraction however, can be said to be the sighting of the various species of vultures. The terrain of Panna is perfectly suited to the breeding & nesting of highly endangered vultures. Some of the species of vultures which have been recorded in Panna are long billed vulture, white backed vulture, Egyptian Vulture and Red Headed Vulture.

Among the reptiles, the gigantic python and gharial, which is the largest of all crocodile species, are present in impressive numbers.

General Info of Panna

History of panna.

Panna is situated in the Vindhyan Range and spreads over Panna and Chhatarpur districts in the northern part of the Madhya Pradesh (M.P.) State of India.

One of the most significant ecological aspects of the Reserve is that the district Panna makes the northern most boundary of natural distribution of teak and the eastern limits of teak-kardhai mixed forests.

The Ken River, which flows through the Reserve from south to north, is the home for long snouted crocodile (gharial) and Marsh Crocodile (maggar) and other aquatic fauna. It is one of the sixteen perennial rivers of M.P. and is truly the life-line of the Reserve. It offers some of the most spectacular scenery while it meanders for about 55 km. through the Reserve.

The terrain of the Reserve is characterised by extensive plateaus and gorges. The topography in the Panna district part of the Reserve can broadly be divided into three distinct tablelands - the upper Talgaon Plateau, the middle Hinouta Plateau and the Ken valley while there are series of undulating hills and plateaus on the other side of Ken river in the Chhatarpur district.

The Reserve's most undisturbed habitat of about 70-80 sq. km. lies on the Hinouta plateau. This is due to relocation of three villages from this area in 1980s. Dry and short grass habitat with open woodland is quite extensive. It supports Blue Bull (nilgai) and chinkara. The areas with tall grasses associated with woodland, support good densities of sambar and chital. Mesic areas are distributed along the major seasonal streams and in the Ken river valley. Steep slopes of plateaus are drier and are dominated by Acacia catachu. Distribution of these habitats creates a heterogeneous landscape, where ecological conditions vary seasonally.

Panna Tiger Reserve is most important PA in the north-central highlands of India, as it links the eastern and western populations of wild animals through the NE-SW running Vindhyan ranges.

Conservation History

Panna National Reserve was created in 1981. It Panna National Reserve was created in 1981. It was declared a Project Tiger Reserve in 1994, 22nd in the country and fifth in the state. The National Reserve consists of areas from the former Gangau Wildlife Sanctuary created in 1975. This sanctuary comprised of territorial forests of the present North Panna Forest Division to which a portion of the adjoining Chhatarpur Forest Division was added later. The reserved forests of the Reserve in Panna district and some protected forests on Chhatarpur district were the hunting preserves of the erstwhile rulers of Panna, Chhatarpur and Bijawar princely states.

The Reserve is dotted with ancient rock paintings, which are believed to be around two thousand years old. Old relics of Gondwana period (rule of the tribal people of Central India) are scattered all over the Reserve.

  • The Reserve has a wireless network for about ten years now. It has proved useful in taking quick action in case of forest offences.
  • Two veterinary dispensaries have been built during the past two years in two peripheral villages and a third one is under construction in another outside village. Cattle immunization is done every year in enclave and border villages through the local Veterinary Department.
  • Survey and demarcation of the Reserve boundary and construction of cattle proof trench (CPT) and cattle proof wall (CPW) has been done over major areas to control grazing and encroachments.
  • Overgrazing results in invasion of weeds. Weed removal programme is carried subjected to availability of funds and as per ground requirements.
  • Development of water sources is being done through the construction of check dams and contour trenching so that water is available in the lean period. Creation and deepening of water holes is also done in suitable areas on year to year basis.
  • Fire protection works like controlled burning, fire line maintenance are carried out every year.
  • Protection of fauna and flora of the Reserve. Protection of fauna and flora of the Reserve.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Density of vegetation has improved over the years. Grasses have become more and more palatable. Fruit bearing trees and shrubs have also grown adequately. is also showing signs of improvement as water stays longer in waterholes. In spite of very dry climatic conditions anIn spite of very dry climatic conditions and high temperatures during summers, the average annual fire affected area is not more than 10-12 per cent of the total area. NEW INITIATIn spite of very dry climatic conditions and high temperatures during summers, the average annual fire affected area is not more than 10-12 per cent of the total area. NEW INITIATIVES

Eco-development A short term consultancy project has been taken up by WII on "Assessment of Impact Zone around Panna National Park" in 1998-99. This Project will also give on-the-spot training to the front line staff of the Reserve on eco-development issues and will develop a manual of eco-development planning (in Hindi) for range level staff.

Village Forest Protection Committees Already 13 Forest Committees have been formed around the Reserve. Of these, 9 committees have taken up eco-development activities under the MP Forestry Project.

Protection Squads / Patrolling During monsoon special protection squads carry out foot patrolling, to curb hunting of sambar and wild boar by local people. Similar squads are established during summer, for fire protection works.

Infrastructure and Facilities Absence of a regular patrolling squad has been a handicap. At present one squad is in place for about a year under a forest ranger. Patrolling, on regular basis, is also done by the regular beat guards and game supervisors. One mini truck and one Gypsy are at the disposal of patrolling groups.

Education and Awareness School children and college students are involved in nature awareness programmes School children and college students are involved in nature awareness programmes during the annual wildlife week celebrations and also on other occasions. However, looking at the importance of this activity, initiative has been taken to start a nature club at Panna.

CONSTRAINTS

Natural limiting factors 15 revenue villages)

Villages within the radius of 5 km. from the Reserve (in all 46 revenue villages)

Livestock population The cattle population of enclave villages is 8,658 and that of surrounding villages (5 km. radius) 28,897. It may be pointed out that people of many villages in far-off places do send their cattle during some part of the year to the forests adjoining the Reserve. This enhances the actual biological pressure on the Reserve to at least twice the above size.

Weeds There is gregarious spread of Lantana camara and Hyptis sauveolens. Lantana is found in almost all valleys and village surroundings, where constant grazing takes place. However it is absent on slopes. Lantana and Hyptis have spread to roughly 30 per cent and 20 per cent of the area respectively.

Encroachment

None in the core area. Grazing The Reserve has always been subjected to severe grazing pressure. The cattle population (generally unproductive) in this part of the state is exceptionally high; there is almost an absence of stall feeding practice and the cattle is left loose to graze in forests. Cattle camps of the National Reserve area have been removed from the Reserve. However, more such camps are still located and new ones keep coming close to the Reserve boundaries. Therefore, in easily accessible border areas the habitat is still degraded. Most of the energy and time of field staff is spent in checking this menace.

Fire Forest fires are very commonForest fires are very common in this dry deciduous forest. Plenty of grasses and maple leaf litter get favorable high temperatures, from March to June, to provide conditions for fire, which are all manmade.

Fire Case Enclaved Villages (In all 15 revenue villages)

Poaching of fauna and flora Fishing in the Ken River is thFishing in the Ken River is the main poaching activity. Poaching of other animals is sporadic and uncommon. lowers, beedi leaves, fruits of Amla and Achar, bamboo, grasses, medicinal plants etc.) is a continuous menace and puts regular pressure on Reserve resources.

Poaching of fauna and flora

Criminals and Extremists Sporadic offences by small groups or individual criminals have been noticed. There are no extremists in the area.

Cultivations The Gangau dam constructed in 1911-1915 falls inside the Reserve. Every year pattas are given by revenue authorities to the local villagers for cultivation over the fertile land below FTL once the water recedes. This disturbs the wildlife in the area for nine months every year.

Diseases Common diseases of domestic animals in the area are Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS), Black Quarter (BQ), Anthrax, Rabies or Hydrophobia which are communicable to wild animals.

Mining Mining for diamonds is being done in Kimberlite pipe at Majhagawan by the National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) just outside the boundary of the Reserve, off Hinouta range. It was started before the formation of the Reserve in late 1960s. Diamond mining activity creates the following problems: (a) release of industrial waste in streams which drain in the Ken river, (b) Dumping of unusable debris in the form of huge mounds just in front of the Hinouta gate of the Reserve, (c) Noise due to blasts and heavy machinery, (d) Regular biotic pressure on Reserve for fire wood and fodder from about 1,000 workers of NMDC.

Mining both for diamond and sandstone is rampant in the areas around the reserve. Repeated efforts by the management to curb mining activities, especially in regular forest area, by approaching licensing authorities have been unsuccessful.

Control of the Buffer The Reserve does not have a buffer. It touches three territorial forest divisions. Commercial forestry activities are on in these divisions right up to the Reserve boundaries. Land use in the peripheral areas is not consistent with the conservation objectives of the Reserve. The small size of the Reserve, lack of corridors linking it with other Protected Areas, discontinuity from large and extended forested patches beyond Vindhyan ranges and a small population of tigers are serious limitations for long term viability of the tiger population here.

Man-Animal The most common cases are of mauling by sloth bear. Tiger or leopard attacks on human beings are rare. The major area of conflict is crop depredation in bordering villages by Nilgai, Chital, Chinkara and Wild boar.

Cases of attacks by wild animals on humans and cattle Man-Forest Good forested patches being reduced outside the Reserve, is a cause of conflict. Huge cattle population forces the poor owners, to stealthily send their livestock into the forbidden territory of the Reserve for grazing. Fuel wood is another area of tension as villagers either do not have alternatives or are not willing to switch over to modern

methods. Teak being one of the most valuable timber, it lures offenders to venture in to the Reserve for illicit cutting. t least on a few occasions eveTrespassing is yet another area of conflict as the short village-to-village routes pass through the Reserve. This problem gets compounded due to the enclave villages. Similarly, a couple of religious shrines situated within the Reserve limits do raise tensions at least on a few occasions every year.

The overall human activity also leads to several manmade forest fires every year in this dry deciduous tract.

  • The Gangau Sanctuary should be brought under the control of the management of the Reserve. m should be in place for carrying out this task.
  • Vaccination of cattle and sterilization of poor quality bulls and introduction of improved cattle breeds should be done in nearby villages.
  • Relocation of remaining villages in the Reserve should be done on a war footing. The concerned revenue authorities should be compelled to finish the job in a fixed time frame.
  • The managers of surrounding forest divisions should also focus on conservation of wildlife in their respective areas.
  • Comprehensive survey of the fauna and flora of the Reserve needs to be taken up by research institutes.
  • Additional posts of Rangers, Foresters and Forest Guards, Clerks, Drivers and Elephant Drivers have been sought from the State Government in view of the protection requirements. These need to be created at the earliest.

A Visit To The Panna National Park, Madhya Pradesh

A view from Magaradabri, during sunset, of the Panna National Park, and the River Ken. Credit Arunjeet Banerjee

They say that time changes things. Does it change everything, though I wonder if the adventurously peaceful forest lanes of the Panna National Park are still the same. I am sure some things don't change.

Created in 1981 and converted into a tiger reserve in 1994, the Panna National Park is the twenty-second Tiger Reserve in India. With a total area of 1645.08 sq km (the core area is 542.66 sq km), this reserve, cosily tucked in the Vindhyan Ranges, spreads its protective wings over the Panna and Chhatarpur districts in Madhya Pradesh. I still remember all my escapades here through the petrichor of the wood and mud, the smooth sails on the Ken River, the barbeques, and bonfires under the machans.

Quiet Flow The Waters

The lifeline of the reserve, the Ken River, a tributary of the Yamuna River, is one of the least polluted rivers in the country. The Ken runs through the park and offers many advantages, including breath-taking views during boat rides. The sunrise and sunset seen from the river are surreal. Views of crocodiles basking in the sun, waiting for their prey, as they float in the still waters pretending to be logs. Sightings of water birds brighten the day and make for wonderful memories.

Conserve And Protect

The Ken River Lodge, established in 1986 by Mr Shyamendra Singh, is a treat for the eyes and a friend to the soul. Hidden within a ensely forested area by the banks of the Ken River, the Lodge has eight plush luxury huts and four cottages. The Lodge has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation in India. The conservation which the Panna National Park has now been able to execute successfully can, to a large extent, be attributed to the efforts of The Ken River Lodge.

Parts Of A Whole

The park can broadly be divided into three parts, the lowest part, which has the Ken basin and the Madla gate the middle, which houses the Hinnauta and the highest part with Talgaon. The forest is a dry deciduous one, and I recall that it was here that I witnessed the motherhood of the Judi Nala Female, a tigress. Among a dense grove of trees, the centre of which is difficult to spot unless you are on an elephant, is a pond-like feature, at the edge of which was resting the majestic Judi Nala Female. It saddens me now to know that the spot is now inaccessible since elephant rides are banned. Good for the elephants, bad for curious minds. However, back then, looking at the tigress, I could tell of the power she possessed even at rest, and on that powerful beast were playing three tiny, precious little cubs. I thought about the day these tiny beings would grow to be as, or even more powerful than her. Tigers were reintroduced in the park in September 2009, after the last male of the park disappeared. Since then, the rules have been made stringent to increase the safety of flora and fauna, as well as the humans who encounter them.

Sights And Sounds

The park, however, isn't home to just tigers. Various mammals, reptiles, and birds can be seen here, including leopards, sloth bears, deer, porcupines, vultures, and owls. It is home to more than 300 species of birds, including migratory ones. Panna supports one of the finest varieties of Sambar Deer. This deer thrives on the Kardhai plant, which grows in ample amounts in the eastern part of the forests of the Panna National Park. Additionally, the park's population of leopards is quite dense, resulting in frequent sightings. What's more, this is the only national park in the country which offers night safaris The Jhinna Night Safari is in the buffer zone of the Panna Tiger Reserve. Wildlife like civets, jackals, foxes, hyenas, the jungle cat, and others can be spotted during the night safari.

The experience at Panna National Park has always been something beyond reality. Every time I returned home, I felt that a little part of me was left in Panna. Each time I go back to fetch that part of me, I, instead leave a little more behind. Here's hoping that the sanctuary remains to be a haven for all the invaluable creatures there, and here's hoping that your visit to the park makes you feel the same.

The Information

Best time to visit The park remains open from mid-October to mid-June. November to March is a good time to visit, although the summers are ideal for tiger sightings due to the dry vegetation in Panna.

Best Time to Visit Panna Tiger Reserve: Know Before You Go

Panna National Park

Summer in Panna National Park remains dry and humid and the temperatures go up to 45℃ but, even though it may seem quite unpleasant, it is rather a great time for tiger spotting and sighting of other animals. It so happens that the River Ken passes through the national park and serves a great purpose to the animals and perhaps wildlife photographers too.

Winter, however, is the best tourism season to witness the wildlife at Panna National Park. The months between November and January can help experience a mild climate and get an opportunity to witness rare feathered creatures by going on a birdwatching tour.

However, the extended months between October and May often receive a bunch of wildlife explorers and it is considered to be the best time to travel.
