Visit Manas National Park, India

Manas National Park, perched on the northern edge of Assam near the Bhutan border, is one of India’s most secluded and biodiverse wildlife sanctuaries. Recognized as both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Project Tiger Reserve, it offers a truly off-the-beaten-path nature experience.

Wildlife

Spanning an impressive 2,837 square kilometers, the park is a haven for rare and endangered species. Among its most notable residents are the one-horned rhinoceros, wild water buffalo, Asian elephant, gaur, swamp deer, capped langur, and the elusive clouded leopard.

Lucky visitors might catch a glimpse of the rare golden langur or even a tiger, though sightings can be challenging due to the dense tall grasses and forested terrain covering much of the park.

Manas is also a paradise for bird enthusiasts, with a wide variety of species, including giant, pied, and grey hornbills, making their home here.
