Wildlife Tour of Manas National Park
A tour to the non-touristy Manas National Park at the foothills of the Bhutanese Himalayas. A UNESCO World Heritage Site with 55 mammal species, 380 bird species, and endangered wildlife including the Pygmy Hog and Golden Langur.
Manas is one of India's most underrated national parks — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that sees far fewer visitors than Kaziranga. Sitting at the base of the Bhutanese Himalayas, it offers elephant and jeep safaris through grasslands and forests along the Beki River. The park is home to endangered species like the Pygmy Hog, Golden Langur, and Bengal Florican. This 4-day tour also includes visits to tea estates, ethnic Bodo villages, and a community-run jungle camp.
Traveling with Greener Pastures means hassle-free, insightful journeys in the hands of passionate experts. All our naturalist guides are from the region and have deep knowledge of the local wildlife, terrain, and communities. Every tour can be tailored to your interests and fitness level.
