Understanding Manas National Park and Assam
Manas National Park Assam is also called the Manas Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also an elephant reserve, biosphere reserve and a project tiger reserve. Inside the park, there is one forest village called Agrang. It lies in the heart of the park. Surrounding the park, there are other villages (estimated at around 56). There are also fringe villages that may indirectly or directly depend on Manas National Park.
The park?s name originated from India?s Manas River (a major tributary to the Brahmaputra River and named after Manasa, the serpent goddess). It lies in lower Assam and along the Himalayan foothills with some parts extending over Bhutan. It is very popular for its endangered, endemic and rare wildlife such as the Hispid Hare, Assam Roofed Turtle, Pygmy Dog as well as the Golden Langur among others.
More about Assam
The Assam region straddles along a transitional zone between South East Asia and South Asia but it is an Indian state, politically. This is due to the fact that Assam belonged to British India before 1947.
Hence, now, Assam is charming land with green valleys, a red river and blue hills. It is bordered by the ?Seven Sisters? namely ? Nagaland, Arunchal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya and Mizoram Tripura. Although it is regarded as a historically and archaeologically rich region, to the world, it remains ?terra-incognito?.
It is world renowned for its tea production. In fact, it produces about 25% of tea in the world. Aside from this, it is also known to produce high quality silk which is called ?pat? as well as ?Muga?. Assam is also a major supplier of natural gas and oil.
If you?re into nature and all its beauty, Assam is the best place to visit. It is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and researchers. It offers a unique natural setting and a hydro-geomorphic environment. It features tropical rainforests, flat flood plains, wet paddy fields and mountainous regions. It is also the world?s richest biodiversity zones due to the above mentioned tropical rainforests and the riverine grasslands, deciduous forests, wetland ecosystems and bamboo orchards. Several of these are currently protected as a reserved forest and national park.
Assam Regions
Assam is divided into four regions. The Upper Assam is where you?ll find the Kaziranga National Park which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Central Assam Hills is where you?ll find the scenic Halflong, historic Maibong and the mysterious Jatinga. The latter is a popular place because it?s where birds actually commit *******. Then, there is the Umrangshu hotwater spring and the cultural life at the Karbi, Tiwa and the Dimasa enthno-cultural group villages. The last two are the Barak Valley or Southern Assam and Lower Assam. Manas National Park is situated in Lower Assam?s largest and historic city ? Guwahati.
Activities in Assam
Aside from touring Manas National Park and all its wonders, another great thing to experience in Assam is to take the Brahmaputra Cruise. It belongs to Assam-Bengal Navigation, a private firm the conducts river cruises on River Brahmaputra. The tour coverage extends to almost the entire stretch of the Brahmaputra River lying in Assam. Aside from that, you?ll also get to visit famous places and a chance to see rural Assam.
