Re: Manas Tiger Reserve

Hey buddy the Manas National Park or Manas Wildlife Sanctuary is a National Park, UNESCO Natural World Heritage site, a Project Tiger Reserve, an Elephant Reserve and a Biosphere Reserve in Assam, India.

So it is not just a tiger reserve instead of that it is a one of the most important Wildlife Sanctuary of India

The name of the park is originated from the Manas River, which is named after the serpent goddess Manasa.

The Manas river is a major tributary of Brahmaputra River, which passes through the heart of the national park.

The park is divided into three ranges.

The western range is based at Panbari,

the central at Bansbari near Barpeta Road,

and the eastern at Bhuiyapara near Pathsala

There are two major biomes present in Manas:

The grassland biomes : pygmy hog, Indian rhinoceros (re-introduced in 2007 after extinction due to heavy poaching during the Bodo uprising), bengal florican, wild Asian buffalo, etc.

The forest biomes : slow loris, capped langur, wild pig, sambar, great hornbill, Malayan giant squirrel or black giant squirrel, etc.

Types of vegetation


Sub-Himalayan Light Alluvial Semi-Evergreen forests in the northern parts.
East Himalayan mixed Moist and Dry Deciduous forests (the most common type).
Low Alluvial Savanna Woodland, and

Assam Valley Semi-Evergreen Alluvial Grasslands which cover almost 50% of the Park.
