This property was like paradise for me as a solo traveller. It was located on the banks of the river and gave me the opportunity to watch birds, go boating, sit on a wooden patio and watch the sunset. I would highly recommend to people who are planning to visit Panna.

The resort is located just by the Ken River, which adds to the magical charm of the place. The huts are well kept and spacious, and offered enough room for the three of us. It has a Machan restaurant by Ken as well.

My stay at the Ken River Lodge, inside a tree house, is a memorable experience. You can even see different animals and birds from here. It is a true country living experience. My deal from Thrillophilia also included a little bit of sightseeing, and other activities, which I enjoyed a lot. You must also soak in the sunset from here, which is a sight for sore eyes.
