Manas National Park in Assam is set to reopen on 2 October, heralding the commencement of the state's wildlife tourism season.
Manas National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will officially reopen to visitors on 2 October after a period of closure for conservation work and infrastructure upgrades.
The park, located in the foothills of the Himalayas in Assam, is home to a diverse array of wildlife including the endangered Bengal tiger, Indian rhinoceros, and numerous bird species. Its reopening follows a comprehensive restoration effort aimed at enhancing habitat quality and visitor facilities.
With the park’s reopening, Assam’s wildlife tourism season is set to kick off, attracting both domestic and international tourists. State tourism officials anticipate a surge in visitors, and have pledged to provide additional guides, transport links, and safety measures.
Visitors planning a trip should secure permits in advance, as the park requires a valid entry license. The best time to visit remains the post-monsoon months of September to November, when wildlife sightings are most frequent and the landscape is lush.
