Crisscrossed by the Manas River in the
west, the Manas National Park is nestled in the foothills of the Eastern
Himalayas. A national park and a World Heritage Site, the park offers to see
some highly endangered animal species like Assam roofed turtle, hispid hare,
golden langur and pygmy hog. Whether you take a jeep ride, a boat ride along
the Manas River or an elephant ride lumbering into the jungle, the
experience will always be a memorable one. Tourists and wildlife lovers can
