Activities & Nature
Immerse Yourself in the Wild
From tiger safaris at dawn to farm-fresh breakfasts at dusk — every day at Mohanniwas Palace is an adventure rooted in the land.
Where Wilderness Meets Heritage
Set just 10 minutes from Panna Tiger Reserve and surrounded by forests home to over 300 recorded bird species, Mohanniwas Palace is a rare base for nature lovers.
Our activities are designed to connect you with the landscape — whether you're tracking tigers at sunrise, spotting rare birds from the terrace, cantering through the estate on horseback, or harvesting vegetables from our organic farm.
