Open October through June, Panna National Park is ideal for viewing wildlife such as antelope, deer, and all kinds of monkeys; if you come for one of the twice-daily safaris (departing early morning and midafternoon), you may see one of the more than 80 elusive tigers in the Panna Tiger Reserve. The best viewing season is January through March. From August through March, Pandav Falls and Raneh Falls on the reserve premises are worth a visit for their stunning landscape brimming with rapids.
