It's a beautiful national park in lower assam in India. In northern side of manas there is indo- bhutan border. In Bhutan this forest is known as Royal Manas. The Manas national park is fully loaded with Wild elephants, bison, water buffalo, wild boar๐, peacock, hornbill, and other birds. There is also Royal Bengal tiger, leopard, black Panther, golden langoor etc. At first you have to come in Barpeta in Assam. From there u have to come Bashbari. 35 km from Barpeta. River Beki ( Manas) is flowing through the manas national park. In bashbari there are some cottages and home stay besides the river. Bashbari is the entry point of Manas national park. U have to book ticket for entry into the manas national park and for night stay u have to book Mathanguri upper bungalow,(21 km from Bashbari) the view from that bungalow balcony is awesome. The other side of the beki ( manas) river is bhutan. The lower bungalow and dormitory is just beneath the upper bungalow and in wild environment. Room rent is 1500 for the bungalow s room and 220 for per dormitory bed. There is also a canteen. Full day safari rate in gypsy is 4500 and half day 2500. The best watch towers of manas is Bura buri watch tower and latajhar watch tower๐ฐ. The forest guard of latajhar Mr. Sunil sarkar is an real animal lover. He gives salt to wild animals and wild animals obey him. The best time to visit manas national park is October- November and March- April. In 12 th november 2019 at 8.15 pm we have seen some UFO like object in the sky of manas national park from Mathanguri upper bungalow. U can also Pangbong, Bhutan, which is 14 km from Mathanguri upper bungalow.

Undoubtedly one of the best National parks in India, due to its not being overrun with tourists and also the Forest Officials keeping the environment pristine and shying away from "developing" the park that may disturb the flora and fauna. Its one of the best places to spot a tiger, but you need an able jeep safari driver who is patient and has a keen eye. Ours was an young chap who was keen to go home as soon as safari started! However we were lucky to see wild boars, peacocks and some deer. Remember that this park is also vast and spreads across 2 countries, so sightings depend on timing and luck too! The Elephant safari in the morning was very relaxed, unlike Kaziranga. We saw a rhino sleeping like a baby, few deer, more peacocks and some bird life. Try to stay at the Forest Lodge at Mathanguri inside the park for a more authentic & rustic experience. If not the regular lodges and some luxury ones have sprung up right outside the park gate. One can also hire a raft with two oarsmen and a gunman (yes! Its true) to drift down the river and get a different perspective. Respect nature, enjoy and please avoid plastics. The water there is straight from Manas river, so enjoy! Please like if the review was helpful.

Review Date 28 Dec We Didn't get to see Any exciting animals allmost 80% of the journey not even a crow ๐ finally we saw wild pig bortokola an elephant far far away..& yes there was a dear..& maybe a rino far far away... \\\\\\({[We got to see more animals Rhino & birds up close in Pobitora just few days back ..it's a better bet to visit there if u want to see wild life now)}]\\\\\.... The Main Visiting Season of (Manas) is February/ March when you get to see all animals as we was told... Ok.. Jeep Safari total cost for 3hrs tour is 3400rs max 5 to 6 !! Road is bumpy yes private card are allowed in But I wouldn't recommend taking it inside while crossing we saw a private car almost fall in a trench so getting it out etc will cost u more if something happened so it's advised to go with experience drivers + we didn't get the armed rifel men with us as it was two crowded on a Sunday but usually u get one... Ok the journey the landscape jeep drive/ memories was worth the visit ..but no animals...๐ฅบ & Ya I have given the visit card / no of a resturant / homestay + jeep association so u can book & visit with ease.... Thank me later ๐ or just like my review ๐ & One last thing going & coming wright now the road just 30min before reaching manas is fully covered by river.sand probably for construction.. but it's lil difficult driving..so b Careful & ya for jeep ride take sun glasses & hat/cap somthing to cover ur hair cause it gets Sandy & for food u need to take anything u can he good hygienic food just outside Man's Cheap & yummy got half plate pork thali at ABO resturant for only 120rs with unlimited rice & dal etc... So just go & home stay is also available....

Manas National park is very beautiful and very amazing place in Boroland.It's not only National park. It is covered by natural beauty and Manas river. River side is the best place for picnic. This river's water is very cold .Manas National park is proud to be an Assam.All must visit it to see the wild beauty of the nature.This place is wonderful location for tourist.The scenic beauty of Manas National park as is extremely excellent.Almost Manas National park is very beautiful place for refreshing ourselves with nature. It's best place for tourist,excursions to students and picnic. Manas is a land of some of the extreme and rare species of birds and animals of which the Clouded Leopard is a must to be mentioned. I have been visiting Manas since 2011 but never ever did I expect to come across this beautiful creature nor did I chase after it. But the sighting which started with the Tiger ended with the presence of this beautiful magical creature on the same day at the same spot and time with just an interval of 2 mins. It just not came out for a visit but posed for a little over 2 mins constantly staring at us. I felt blessed by it's short but magical visit.

Manas National Park offers a coplete jungle safari. There are three kinds of animals that you can see Rhino, Tiger and Elephants. This National park has only these three animals but it's a one big national park. You can take your personal car inside the national park but you can't take it to deep inside the forest, the officials has made a road which at outside boundaries of the park on which you can only see muddy roads, green forest, cold dark and pure chill feeling. However if you want to experience jungle safari want to be driven in middle of forrest and grass on both of your side and to see Rhino, Elephants and Tiger then you can book jungle cabs which will take you to inside of the jungle. This place also packs a beatiful view of Manas river you can sit there at sides, at summer times you can do river rafting as well, and it's awesome you can see ater coming out of mountains, place is being surrounded by green mountains, the river is flowing, cold sands. I would say Manas National Park has all the things if you are on budget and wants to experience every bit of safari.

Manas National Park holds a lot of exotic flora and fauna. During our visit, we were able to watch a group of families of elephants, which was also a huge number. As they surrounded the tower we were not able to move from that area for approximately more than 2 hours. And apart from that, we have also watched Rhinos and Peacock from a distance. We also went to watch the riverside of the manas river which divides Assam from Bhutan. There were other places to visit as well however, due to time constraints we were unable to watch those areas. During our visit we didn't stay at the locality for the day rather we returned after having lunch, as our home is a few hours away from the manas national park. But near the national park and also within are a lot of homestays, resorts and hotels for visits to stay. Also, Note 1) Pets are not allowed in the National Park 2) You can have lunch next to the river manas just don't litter and throw the trash in the dustbin 3)Make sure you don't throw trash anywhere. It is a place you must visit!
