If we will reach by 14:30 hr then we will not have chance to attend afternoon safari so after some relaxation, we will attend sound & light show at Western group of temples complex. It is an post sunset activity. If we will manager to reach Khajuraho before 13:30 hr then we have chance to plan for evening safari drive in this day.
Overnight at a resort in Panna national park.
Attend morning and evening jeep safari drives. We will do jeep safaris to explore the hidden wildlife treasures of this plateau based tiger reserve. Due to its plateau based topography, we will find rocky surface with no dense forest. It is an open forest with grasslands and hilly terrain where animals can be spotted from long distance but at the same time due to rocky surface, pugmark based tracking is not easily possible. Here major photography attractions will be tigers, cubs, leopards, vultures, blue bulls, sloth bears etc.
