MANAS NATIONAL PARK
WORLD'S LARGEST POPULATION OF THE ENDANGERED BENGAL FLORICAN
Manas National Park is situated at the foothills of the Himalayas and a part of it extends to Bhutan. It was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1928 and a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985.
​
The sanctuary is home to a great variety of wildlife including the Royal Bengal Tiger, Golden Langur, Hispid Hare, Indian one-horned Rhinoceros, and Pygmy Hog. Manas is known for its tigers, rhinos and elephant conservation success stories. The wealth of flora and fauna at Manas National Park make it a unique natural heritage site that offers thrilling experiences in the wild.
​
The park has sub-tropical vegetation and is fed by the Manas and the Beki rivers and a few other streams and rivulets. Mathanguri, at its northern end, has a spectacular sight of the Manas river and the forested mountains of Bhutan.
​
Due to the park’s elevation and forests and grasslands, there is an abundance of interesting bird life. Manas is home to the world’s largest population of the Bengal Florican; the Great Indian Hornbill, Brahminy Ducks, falcons, ospreys and herons also makes frequent appearances in this park.
