Pashan Garh

We had a mixed experience at the property, more good and less bad. I will list each of them down, starting with the good first. - A beautiful property with a very raw jungle experience. - Very helpful staff, and our butler - Mr.Dileep, made sure all our needs were met to perfection. - The night safari was amazing, Mr.Bopanna is an extremely well informed guide who makes birds and deers also as interesting as spotting a tiger. - The Bundelkhandi thali is definitely worth trying, do not miss it. - Very cautious about Covid guidelines, and our safety was kept a priority at all times. Now the negatives - On the busy days the quality of food goes down. We were a little dissappointed as you expect really good taste at taj properties. - The property is not made for kids, there is no open space for kids to play, the boundaries are not properly secured. Insects and bugs could also be a problem. They do not have any play area , or activities to engage kids. Even basics like a high chair are missing from the dining room. This clearly is not for kids under 5. Overall a beutiful experience, but I would strongly suggest you visit without kids or with elder kids.

Another beautiful property by Taj ! The rooms were amazing and had a beautiful outdoor gazebo . The weather was perfect , the jungle air was pure and smelled so fresh.. they had maintained the jungle as it is without disturbing the nature. We went for a night safari within the 200 acre property and it was as thrilling and adventurous as it could get.. our naturalist Bopanna guided us really well .. they even took us on a complimentary walking tour in the morning which was great fun.. and as usual Taj never fails to surprise us with their service.. The GM Amit was really helpful with all our extraordinary requests and took really good care to see we were comfortable at all times.. They assigned a private butler to us who was at our service at all times and got us every little thing we asked for ( we were travelling with kids so we had a lot of requests to make at all meals) We stayed for 2 days and we completely forgot about the horrors of the ongoing pandemic and got our much needed break! Hats off to Taj it was completely worth it!

This is an exceptional lodge in Panna National Park.It is wonderful and we would definitely recommend this lodge.The staff is so friendly and helpful. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated. They have a heater in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. Ask your butler to turn both on before sunset so your room is warm in winter months. They do put hot water bottles in your bed to warm it up before you retire. They will bring you coffee or room service if you order it and will place it in the box connected to your room. They politely let you know from outside it is ready. You open the door on your side to get it. Our bed faced a large window so we could look out upon the forest to watch for animals. There was an outside cabana so you could sit outside to read and enjoy nature. The food was okay. The second night we had a grilled chocolate brownie with ice cream on a plate with the face of a lion outlined in chocolate dust. That was by far the best food we had. On game day, they packed a nice breakfast so we could have it midway during our early morning drive. They provided blankets, a hot water bottle, and scarves to wrap around your face when the temperatures dropped during a drive. The criticisms: the shower is a raised platform in the middle of the floor with no shower curtain. It sprays all over the stone floor making the entire bathroom floor wet and slippery. The makeup mirror not only doesnt have a side to magnify, but it actually makes your face smaller so it is very difficult to see to put your makeup on. The heater in the bathroom throws off a lot of heat, but you have to be careful not to get too close to it. It can make the stones on the floor very hot to walk on. The hairdryer had very little power. It stopped partway through drying my hair. It may have popped a circuit breaker. I moved to another outlet. For some reason, I couldnt get the hairdryer to shut off so I had to pull the plug. On the bathrooms outside the main dining area, they have tissues to wipe your hands after washing. You need to use multiple tissues, and they stick to your hands. Some kind of cloth or paper towel would be better.

Hospitality standards of Pashan Garh team is definitely worth a mention and a shout out to the fantastic guys out there. Warm and courteous staff and a wonderful chef, no doubts . In the jungles, was guided by an extremely knowledgeable naturalist of Taj, Mrs. Sangita Mani. Special thanks to Mr. Dipu (Head Naturalist) & Mr. Amit Kumar Jha for making my stay very memorable. Remarkable hospitality and looking forward to visit again.

The centre piece of these cottages was the large bed. Some interesting objet dart decorated the area. Excellent bathroom and outside sun lounger. Swimming pool present. The eating areas and lounge were not very homely or inviting, but the food was great. All the staff were helpful and friendly, and Dulip ( our allocated butler) was superb. Really enjoyed staying here
