An insight

Manas National Park was a hunting ground for Raja of Gauripur as well as the royal family of Cooch Behar.

The region was separated into two reserves i.e. North Kamrup Reserve Forest and Manas Reserve Forest, before being declared as a wildlife sanctuary. On 1stOctober these two reserved woods were amalgamated into a sole wildlife sanctuary. In the year 1955, the area of this protected expanse was enlarged to 391 sq.kms from its previous extent of 360 sq. km.

In 1990, the Panbari Reserve Forest, Kokilabari Reserve Forest and Kahitama Reserve Forest were added as a part of Manas National Park. In the same year this park was declared as the National Park. The name this park is taken from Manas River that streams through the western side of the national park. Expanding to the expanse of 950 sq. kms, this sanctuary acts as a core region of ChirangRipo Elephant Reserve.

This national park is a must visit place for all the wildlife freaks, who are in quench of witnessing wilderness in its own habitat. It boasts of an immense assortment of flora and fauna incorporating elephant, rhinoceros and tigers. This park is also a preferred habitat for golden Langur, red panda and many of such exotic fauna species including 55 types of mammals.

Manas National Park draws several amazing bird species. These avifauna species comprise greater adjutant, Bengal florican, wreathed hornbill, great pied hornbill and many more. More than half of the protected region is blanketed with deciduous woods and grasslands. Due to the fact that this sanctuary is situated on the banks of the river Manas, the park boasts an opulent species of aquatic animals.
