Tour Overview

Manas National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tiger Reserve, Elephant Reserve and Biosphere Reserve rolled into one — set against the blue foothills of Bhutan. Less crowded than Kaziranga, it rewards travellers with pristine forest, grasslands and the crystal Manas river.

Home to the rare golden langur, pygmy hog, hispid hare, tigers, rhinos and wild elephants, Manas is a quieter, wilder alternative for serious nature lovers. This package pairs jeep safaris with a river-side setting and views into Bhutan.

Highlights

  • UNESCO World Heritage tiger reserve
  • Golden langur and rare pygmy hog habitat
  • Jeep safaris through grassland and forest
  • Views of the Bhutan Himalaya foothills
  • Manas river and Mathanguri forest bungalow area
  • Birding paradise with 450+ species
