Located in the Himalayan foothills in western Assam, Manas was originally a game reserve in 1928 and became a Tiger Reserve in 1974, a World Heritage Site in 1985, and a Biosphere Reserve in 1989 then was declared a National Park in 1990. The park is contiguous with the Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal, and in 2003 it was declared part of the Chirang-Ripu Elephant Reserve which serves as the international corridor for elephant migration between India and Bhutan. Spread over an area of 500 sq. km, the park has extensive grasslands and is famous for its stunning landscapes. The park harbors several endangered species including the Clouded Leopard, Hispid Hare, Pygmy Hog, Bengal Florican, etc. Considered one of the world's rarest primate species, the golden langur was first spotted in Manas in the mid-20th Century. Manas is indeed a dream destination for every nature lover!
