Know Before You Go

A wildlife journey across the national parks of Assam, a green state in northeast India. Having visited a plethora of mammals and birdlife, including the famous rhinos of Kaziranga, get an introduction to the cultural vibe of the state in Guwahati as well.

Just for your knowledge and information:

A. Manas National Park:

Manas is the closest I have come to seeing paradise on earth in my life - but that was 25 years ago. Today, Manas looks like an aged diva wearing rags, though I think I still caught the familiar sparkle in the eye.

This Brahmaputra Valley semi-evergreen forest and terrestrial Eco-region is also the richest species among all Indian wildlife areas and the only known home for the rare and endangered Assam Roofed Turtle, Hispid Hare, Golden Langur and Pygmy Hog.

The focus point of Manas National Park is the enchanting Manas River, named after the serpent goddess Manasa. It is the largest Himalayan tributary of the mighty Brahmaputra. Coming down the Bhutan Hills from the north, the crystal clear waters of the Manas river runs through the heart of the 500 sq. km core area of Manas Park. The main tourist spot of Mothanguri, on the northern border of Manas with Bhutan, is situated on the banks of this river.

Situated on the north bank of the Brahmaputra river in Assam, Manas lies on the international border with Bhutan. It is bounded on the north by the Royal Manas National Park in Bhutan, south by populous North Kamrup district and east and west by buffer forest reserves of 2,840 sq. Km Manas Tiger Reserve.

The Manas River flows through the west of the park, where it splits into two separate rivers, the Beki and Bholkaduba.

Vegetation: The Burma Monsoon Forests of Manas lie on the borders between the Indo-Gangetic and Indo-Malayan bio-geographical realms and is part of the Brahmaputra Valley Biogeographic Province. The combination of Sub-Himalayan Bhabar Terai formation with riverine succession leading up to the Sub-Himalayan mountain forest makes it one of the richest biodiversity areas in the world.

Two major biomes are represented in Manas - the grassland biome and the forest biome.

It is replaced by moist deciduous forest away from watercourses, which is succeeded by semi-evergreen climax forest in the northern part of the park. A total of 543 plants species have been recorded from the core zone. Of these, 374 species are dicotyledons (including 89 trees), 139 species monocotyledons, and 30 are Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms.

Fauna: Manas is the melting point of the west and the east. Many species at the westernmost and easternmost point of their range represent a gateway for species exchanges between the typically Indian and Malayan' faunas.

A total of 55 mammals, 50 reptiles and three amphibians have been recorded, several species being endemic. Manas contains 21 of India's Schedule I mammals and at least 33 of its animals listed as threatened, by far the greatest number of any protected area. Some, like the Assam Roofed turtle Kachuga sylhetensis, Golden Langur Presbytis geez, Hispid Hare Caprolagus hispidus, Pygmy Hog Sus salvanius and the only pure strain of Asiatic Wild Buffalo Bubalus are, are only found/best seen here.

Birdlife: The diverse habitat of Manas is an ideal home for a variety of specialized birds. Manas boasts the largest population of the endangered Bengal Florican globally and is also a great place to see the Great Hornbill. The National Park lists around 380 species, and the adjoining hilly terrain in Bhutan can easily add a hundred birds to that total. Good birds to look for are Greater Adjutant, Black-tailed Crake, Red-headed Trogon, Swamp Francolin, Wreathed and Rufous-necked Hornbill, Marsh and Jerdon's Babblers, Pied Harrier, Rufous-rumped and Bristled Grassbirds, Hodgson's Bushchat, Rufous-vented Laughingthrush, Finn's Weaver, Ibisbill and a variety of foothills species.

B. Nameri National Park:

The Nameri National Park of 200 sq km is located in the Sonitpur district, bordering Arunachal Pradesh.

Another important wildlife sanctuary of Arunachal Pradesh, The Pakhui (Pakke) wildlife Sanctuary, adjoins the Park on its North-Eastern point. The river Jia- Bhoroli and its tributaries, namely the Diji, Dinai, Doigurung, Nameri, Dikorai, Kharietc crisscross the park. During the rainy season, A few jheels (during the rainy seasons) also dot the area.

One can enjoy rafting in the Jia Bhoroli river in the southwestern boundary.

C. Kaziranga National Park:

It has become synonymous with successful conservations of Great One Horn Rhinoceros (from the Greek word, "rhino" means nose and "ceros" means horn) / Unicornis (from the Latin word, "uni" means one and "cornis" also means horn) and also a home of may other threatened species.

There are also over 500 species of birds that have been recorded in the park, including 25 species of globally-threatened category.

Over and above, there are 21 rare and endangered species. In winter, one can observe a large breeding population of Spot Bill Pelicans about one thousand breeding nests are found in a place named Pelican Colony in the Eastern Range.

Among the reptiles, species like Water Monitor Lizard (Varanus Salvator), Indian python (Python molurus), Cobra (Naja naja) and the King Cobra are found.
