Manas Safari, Bhutan Border River & Bodo Culture Experience
·2 Days
EXPERIENCE RATING
New on EvynxTwo days of Manas safaris, the Bhutan border river, and a Bodo cultural evening.
About this experience
Two full days at Manas National Park for travellers already based near Bansbari gate, covering the reserve's signature circuits - a pre-dawn jeep safari into the core grassland for Pygmy Hog, Golden Langur and Wild Water Buffalo, an afternoon drive to Mathanguri where the crystal-clear Manas River enters India from Bhutan, and one of India's few permitted night safaris for civets and jungle cats after dark. The second day slows to a guided tea-estate buffer walk and a Bodo cultural evening with Bagurumba dance at the park's edge. A private guide and vehicle handle Forest Department timings and permits across both days.
Highlights
- Bansbari Core Zone - pre-dawn jeep safari for Pygmy Hog, Golden Langur and Wild Water Buffalo
- Mathanguri - crystal-clear Manas River entering India from Bhutan over a white gravel bed
- Night Safari - one of India's few permitted spotlight drives, for civets and jungle cats
