Royal Manas National Park



Royal Manas National Park is in Central Bhutan.

Understand[edit]

Covering over 1,000 km², this park and its adjoining Manas National Park in Assam provide a sanctuary for many wild animals, including tigers, leopards, rhinos, bears, pangolin and elephants. Designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1966, the area was upgraded to national park status in 1988.

History[edit]

Landscape[edit]

The park covers the eastern Sarpang District, the western half of the Zhemgang District, and the western Pemagatshel District.

It is connected via biological corridors to Phibsoo Wildlife Area, Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, Phrumsengla National Park, and Jomotsangkha Wildlife Area.

The southern Indo-Butanese border separates this park from Manas National Park, a UNESCO heritage site.

Flora and fauna[edit]

Climate[edit]

During the monsoon season from May to September, up to 5,000 mm of rainfall can occur in the national park, but there is little rain in other parts of the year. The best travel period is from November to March, because in this period the temperatures are very pleasant.
