Eastern India Wildlife Parks Manas
Tiger Reserve 
The
Manas Reserve, located in the foothills of the Bhutan hills, far from human
habitation, is a world in itself. The Manas River flowing through the Park
demarcates the border between India and Bhutan.
The Park has vast
deciduous forests where the dense cover often cuts out the light. Its wet
grasslands are the home of the rhino, water buffalo, elephant and tiger.
Manas is noted for its population of the rare golden langur - found only in
this part of the country. They are often spotted in the tall trees.
Other
primates in the Park include the capped langur, Assamese macaque, the slow
loris and the hoolock gibbon. These are rarely seen but the whooping call of
the hoolock gibbon can be heard resounding through the forest.
The
Reserve is also home to the attractive red panda but these are only seen
occasionally in the higher elevations. Manas is a very special biosphere,
for it harbors twenty species of birds and animals that are highly
endangered and listed in the IUCN Red Data Book. These include the hispid
hare and the pigmy hog.
