The park also boasts a thriving bird population, with over 450 species documented, making it a true haven for avid birdwatchers.

Apart from its ecological significance, Manas National Park holds cultural importance as well. It is known for its close association with the indigenous Bodo people, who have coexisted with the park's wildlife for centuries. Their vibrant culture and traditions add a unique flavor to the park, creating a harmonious blend of nature and human heritage.

Manas National Park is not only a haven for wildlife and nature enthusiasts but also a testament to conservation efforts. The park has witnessed significant conservation successes in recent years, with active measures taken to protect endangered species and restore their habitats. This commitment to conservation has earned Manas National Park recognition and admiration on a global scale.
