Explanation

Manas National Park is located in the state of Assam, specifically in the Barpeta district [1]. Situated in the foothills of the Himalayas, it is a multifaceted protected area that serves as a National Park, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, a Project Tiger Reserve, an Elephant Reserve, and a Biosphere Reserve [2]. The park derives its name from the Manas River, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra that flows through its western side. Historically, the area served as a hunting ground for the Cooch Behar and Gauripur royal families before being declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1928 and eventually a National Park in 1990. It is renowned for its unique biodiversity, providing a critical habitat for endangered species such as the Golden Langur, Pygmy Hog, and Indian Rhinoceros [2].
