The magnetocrystalline anisotropy exhibited in PrPd$_2$Ge$_2$ single crystalhas been investigated by measuring the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility,electrical resistivity and heat capacity. PrPd$_2$Ge$_2$ crystallizes in thewell known ThCr$_2$Si$_2$\--type tetragonal structure. The antiferromagneticordering is confirmed as 5.1~K with the [001]-axis as the easy axis ofmagnetization. A superzone gap formation is observed from the electricalresistivity measurement when the current is passed along the [001] direction.The crystal electric field (CEF) analysis on the magnetic susceptibility,magnetization and the heat capacity measurements confirms a doublet groundstate with a relatively low over all CEF level splitting. The CEF levelspacings and the Zeeman splitting at high fields become comparable and lead tometamagnetic transition at 34~T due to the CEF level crossing.
