Manas National Park is a spectacular jungle and a very unique one. This designated sanctuary also has the singular distinction of being a wildlife sanctuary, national park, biosphere hotspot, a Natural World Heritage Site, a Project Tiger and Project Elephant reserve and also one of the better known birding areas in the world.
The area of this national park was once the hunting ground of royals. Formerly known as North Kamrup, it was made a reserve forest in 1928, declared a Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger in 1973, and eventually made a national park in 1990.
The reserve’s core area is the Manas National Park. It is home to tigers, elephants, wild buffalos and one-horned Rhinos, apart from sambar and swamp deer. The park mostly comprises eastern Himalayan moist mixed deciduous forest, which is, at places, dense enough to obliterate all sunlight. There is also an alluvial grassland in the eastern part. The park lies in the watershed area of the Manas, Hakua and Beki rivers.
