Manas National Park

Against the backdrop of the Eastern Himalayas lies a grass and jungle habitat of unparalleled beauty. Tigers, elephants, golden langurs and Bengal Floricans share this exquisite wilderness with other rare and endangered species. The Manas forest extends on both sides of the river and presents one of earth's most timeless vistas. As you watch the magic unfold from the safe confines of the handsome

forest resthouse at Mothanguri, a herd of elephants may silently make an appearance on the distant opposite bank, lending a touch of the ethereal to an earthly paradise. Little wonder then, that Manas was chosen by UNESCO to be a World Heritage site. Home to the wild buffalo, elephant, tiger and rhino, Manas harbours the maximum number of endangered species from India as listed in the IUCN Red Book.
