Manas National Park Elephant Safari

Nestled in the core of North East India lies a beautiful realm of nature known as Manas National Park. Lodged in Assam, right at the foothills of the Bhutan Himalayas, Manas is one of the finest wildlife and biosphere reserves in the country. The park owes its name to the river Manas which originates from Bhutan, and ribbons through the park. The last population of the Pygmy Hog survive in the wilds of Manas and nowhere else in the world. 

There’s hardly anything else that compares to the experience of exploring the hearts of Manas National Park on the back of an elephant. The park houses a good number of elephants, which makes them an ideal choice for a ride. The Park is full of exotic animals with the major attraction of Royal Bengal Tigers which can be spotted from the back of an elephant. Reach at the park where the local instructor will help with all the safety gears, where 3 people can sit on 1 elephant. These gorgeous Giants can access the regions of the park where jeep is not allowed. Get a different perspective of the park from sitting on the back of a pachyderm. The park is styled in such a way that it will really feel like journeying across the homes of magnificent creatures within just 45 mins.
