MANAS NATIONAL PARK

Located in the foothills of the Mighty Himalayas, Manas has been designated as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Manas has unique distinction of being home of some of the highly endangered animals like Pigmy Hog, Golden Langur. Manas has a remarkable diversity of forest vegetation within the confines of the park. It is flanked by the sub-Himalayan mixed deciduous forests and Assam valley evergreen forests to the north and a combination of rich bhabar Sal, eastern wet alluvial grassland around the Benki and Hekua rivers and alluvial Savannah woodlands to the south. Manas also has a unique distinction of being a treasure house of plants and trees around 550 species, which include some rare varieties of wild orchid.

Manas has a relatively longer period of Monsoons resulting in creation of different types of terrain due to siltation from countless seasonal rivers and nalahs. The upper foothills are bhabar tracts and the lower one the terai tract. The terai tract contains plenty of ground water as a result the tall grasslands support an extensive number of wild animals and harbors some rare and endemic species. Manas is also home to 60 mammals, of which 41 have been listed in the IUCN’s Indian Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. They include Tiger, Leopard, Clouded Leopard and some of the smaller cats like Marbled, Leopard, Golden and Fishing. Other mammals are Great Indian Rhinos, Indian Elephant, Indian Wild Buffalo, Red Panda and Capped Langur. The most endangered animals in the park are Golden Langur, Pygmy Hog and Hispid hare.

With its varied habitats, Manas has countless species of birds. Some of the bird species of interest are Assamese Myna, Indian Lorikeet, Rufous-bellied Niltava, Rubycheek, Crossbill, Malkoha, kalij Pheasant, Orange-bellied Blue Magpie, Blue-headed Flycatcher, Great Indian Hornbill, Indian Hobby and Blyth’s Baza. Large flocks of migratory birds like Large Cormorants, Grey Heron, Yellow Bittern, Lesser Whistling Teal and Comb Duck make winter home in Manas river and its tributaries.
