Karnavati Interpretation Centre

Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh


This is where tickets for Panna Tiger Reserve 4WD safaris are issued. There's also a small museum with exhibits on the reserve. It's 1km from the park gate: if you're coming from Khajuraho, it's on your left 200m before the Ken River bridge.
