Royal Manas National Park Tourism

Type of destination: National Park

Royal Manas National Park, located in Gelephu, Bhutan, is a conservation triumph. Established in 1966, it is Bhutan's oldest national park, covering over 1,057 square kilometers of tropical and subtropical ecosystems. This park is recognized for its rich biodiversity, harboring an impressive range of species, including the Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, and the rare golden langur. The park's lush forests include tropical monsoon forests at lower altitudes, changing to subtropical forests as one ascends, and then to temperate types as one reaches the higher elevations. Royal Manas is integral to Bhutan's conservation efforts; it is part of a larger network of protected areas that are contributing to the preservation of flora and fauna in the Eastern Himalayas. The park offers visitors a variety of experiences, from thrilling wildlife sightings to cultural interactions with the local communities who sustain their traditional lifestyles while coexisting with the rich natural heritage. Excursions such as river rafting, bird watching, and jungle safaris are popular. Moreover, the park has a symbiotic relationship with India's Manas Tiger Reserve, creating a transboundary conservation area.
