The undisturbed wildlife of North East India


“The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness”- great words of John Muir echoes in the mind as one pave the way through the dense thickets of Manas National Park. Setted in the Eastern Himalayan Foothills where the enchanting Manas River carrying the fresh drafts of glacier waters, the park is a doorway into the extraordinary world of Indian Wildlife.



The beautiful melange of the deciduous forests and alluvial grasslands have managed to create a secure habitat for some of the critically endangered species on this planet. It is one of the major reasons why this designated wildlife sanctuary has turned into the UNESCO World Heritage Site.



 Today as most Rhino species are facing the terrible fate of extinction it is incredible to see how the surging population of One-horned Rhinos popularly recognized as Indian Rhinos in Kaziranga and Manas National Park have made India stands apart from the rest of the world. Watching thousands of them scouting in their natural habitat gives a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.



Besides being identified as a significant turf of Bengal Tigers, the wildlife sanctuaries have gathered enormous admiration for guarding one of the last habitats of Clouded leopards. An interesting trail in the jungle might lead you to this secretive and rare cat who prefers to live alone and hidden in the dense groves of trees.



Native to the Indian Subcontinent, Water Buffalo is one handsome species of the Bovini tribe mostly residing in the riverine of ManasNational Park. In Assam, these Buffalos are nicknamed as the tractors of the east because of they have buttressed Humanity survival through their plowing and transporting people throughout North East. They spend much of their day submerged in the muddy waters and use their wide-splayed hoofed feet to move in the swamps and wetlands.



One-horned Rhinos, Bengal Tigers, Clouded Leopards, Water Buffalos, Capped Langur, Great Indian Hornbill, Pallas’s Fish Eagle, Bengal Floricans, Indian Roller, Assam Roofed Turtle, Assam Rabbit, Golden Langur, Jungle Owl, Spotted Owlet, Black Kite, Spot-billed Pelican are some of the rare and endangered species that will hook eyes in sheer astonishment while navigating through broadleaf forest of Kaziranga National Park and riverine ecosystem of Manas National Park.
