Ken River Lodge was something that we always had in our list of to be visited properties and finally with help of a friend we got in touch with Property Manager Rahul who after our first call made us finalize things. Dealing with the property directly is always the best deal and they also help you plan your itenary. Ken river Lodge is just 20 minutes far from Khajuraho Airport / Railway station. Its a property is owned by a Jungle lover himself and so all aesthetics are maintained to conserve and abide by rules of the wildlife and Jungle. Lot of bird sightings within the property. The property shared river bed of Ken River (Karnawati River), there are several options available in room category Cottages / Duplex river facing rooms / River facing cottages with plunge pools . The best rooms are river facing with plunge pool facing the Ken river with big huge balcony. Every minute detail right from recliner chairs in balcony to sufficient switch boards within room to charge camera / phone / pad / laptop with side tables working tables have been provided in sufficient quantity, Big water campers within rooms never let you worry about of drinking water and no plastic bottle. The room furnishing has been with Teak wood giving it a raw and luxury together. Their restaurant deck is between 2 huge Arjun trees and complete wood deck by the river side , you would enjoy every sip of your coffee by the side seating on the deck. Food was great too. Manoj & Kamlesh never left us for a moment, so we felt we had someone from the property who was taking care of every minute need of our stay. Walking safari / Nature walk around the property with Manoj with an eye opener he is simply awesome , property owners should move him under the Naturalist curve. Sunny was there to get us the best morning tea be it we requested at 5 am in morning. Rahul has certainly handled the most demanding clients like us for years , he is a perfect Manager and handles clientele very well.

Madla gate Panna national park for safari entry point is at 5 minute distance from the property.

Few things we request that can be improved 
1. Having a in house Naturalist will help people like us who always look for evening coffee chats with them to learn more about the landscape / wildlife in-coherence to the existence around. which they have but season was over so they go on leave.
we didnot get one which felt big gap for us.
2. Food needs a little extra spread and variety for guests who like to enjoy food cooked in natural ways like chulha / or in house vegetables organically grown.
3. Special arrangements like a unique experience of Bush dinner / island breakfast will make a guest feel surprised and will be a delight to the overall experience.
4. The merchandise store didnot had anything that was co-brand as Panna National Park which was a miss, which becomes a momento that we can carry back for ourselves and for friends from Panna.
No doubt its the best beautiful rooms specially river facing
Too comfortable and hygenic
Staff will make you feel at home away from home.

We couldn't watch the movie on Panna but it is highly recommended.

Taking to the staff made us realize that its not a professional relation between the staff and the owner rather he is running a family and they all speak highly of him, and so everyone is smiling at all times and they all look happy with pressure of guests.  

I am going again , you should plan too , its so relaxing , and so many birds will make you feel relaxed. Lovey property ; Lovely rooms ; Lovely Staff :)

Mesmerizing property next to Ken River

My family and me stayed at the Ken River Lodge this summer to celebrate my son's birthday. The lodge is beautifully located along the river side.The view from the room was spectacular along with a splash pool on the deck which my son loved. The rooms were very comfortable n the service was great. The staff was very polite n the food was made to our taste. Ken River Lodge has very knowledgeable drivers who knows all about the forest n guide you through your jungle experience. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners as well who have been pioneer in this line of wildlife n tourism. The most exciting part was the night safari which happens only in MP. I would highly recommend Ken River Lodge to stay we had a lovely experience and shall definitely go back. Thank u

Memorable Stay.

The Ken River Lodge, like the other properties of Pagdandi Safaris, is a beautiful place to connect with nature. 
The location is idyllic, sitting in the jungle on the banks of the River Ken. The cottages have been done up with painstaking care using natural materials in the entire design. They have taken care  to provide all essential comforts and excellent housekeeping. 
The tree house bar and restaurant take the cake. The food is very good and they provide a sumptuous packed breakfast for the morning safari, which we took. 
The staff headed by Rahul is very friendly and the owners take personal care to ensure things are fine.

Outstanding!

Brilliant. Rahul is an excellent manager with great business and customer service sense. Highly recommend the place for everything.  Should be your first choice in that region. North Indian food is very well cooked

Excellent stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Ken River Resort, we love the hospitality, the location, the way we were made to feel home. The food & services are up to the mark. 

Rahul, Purushottam, and the entire team of boys is very helpful. The place is worth the price and the efforts. 

A good experience - a perfect birthday 

The place is excellent. This is our third consecutive year to stay in this property. The staff, food and facilities are very good. The property in itself is very beautiful with an excellent view of Ken river. Rahul makes sure you have the most comfortable stay. Looking forward again.

Excellent 👍

The place is great on the bank of the river Ken, the view to the river is fab from the Restaurant, the have variety of room options , we were in the premium cabin, with 2 kids we could comfortably sleep the beds are comfortable and huge. The all board package was lovely. Meals were very tasty and had good choices. There is Bar which is great.

Rahul made the stay special along with this team. the F&B manager( from Indore) was great….. Best Biryani I had in a long time.
Staff is super friendly 
Campfire, Boating , Fishing , or just chilling, you can do all.

Best place in Madla, Panna

Quite a rustic lodge but nice location by the river and close to the Panna National Park. Our room was spacious and clean. The food was very good and plentiful, and the service, especially from the restaurant staff and housekeeping/general help, was excellent.

Great location and excellent service

We stayed for two days at river side cottage. It was comfy and had two bedrooms along with a side bed, a small private pool and a kitchen . Mornings were  blissful with nature around you. Everything about our stay was wonderful. Staff was great, always there to help with a warm smile. Overall my stay was beautiful and would like to get back soon .I recommend it totally.

Awesome hospitality

Fantastic location , great ambience and good food.

Me and my wife travelled MP and stayed at this resort for a day. Started with a boat ride in the river on shallow waters , driven by a wooden oar.

We stopped in middle of a the river and had tea and sandwiches atop an island enjoying the sunset , a must do if you are adventurous and like birds

Evening was fun with a panna documentary at 7 pm and bonfire and
Very tasty food. Staff was very courteous

At the safari , we kept looking for the king of the jungle but Iam sure he/ she was watching us . Enjoy the coloured mountains ( rangi ghaati) with conglomerate stone. The vegetation is beautiful and golden grass is superb.

Overall : A must do . Don’t try to haggle much but see it as helping the economy et large.
