Ken Gharial Sanctuary is a protected wildlife area located along the Ken River in the Panna and Chhatarpur districts of Madhya Pradesh. Established primarily for the conservation of the endangered gharial, the sanctuary also supports marsh crocodiles, turtles, migratory birds, and diverse riverine flora and fauna. The clear-flowing Ken River, rocky banks, and surrounding forests create an ideal habitat for aquatic and semi-aquatic species. The sanctuary is closely linked with the Ken–Panna river ecosystem and complements nearby protected areas such as Panna National Park. Ken Gharial Sanctuary attracts wildlife enthusiasts, birdwatchers, researchers, and eco-tourists interested in river-based biodiversity and conservation-focused travel.
