Tour Details

This 15-day has been specifically planned for die-hard bird-watching enthusiasts and will give you the experience of a lifetime, where you will search for, watch, and photograph a magnitude of birds in the dense forests of North-East India.

Manas National Park was first established as a wildlife sanctuary in 1928. The National Park consists of two main habitat types: grassland and forest, both of which are home to some rare animals and birds that are best seen here, including the ‘Big Four of Manas’ – the Bengal Florican, the Clouded Leopard, the One-horned Rhinoceros, and the Water Buffalo.
 
Apart from these four-star species of the park, Manas is also home to many other animals like Tiger, Leopard, Asian Elephant, Capped Langur, Assamese Macaque, Slow Loris, Hoolock Gibbon, and many more.
 
Birding in Manas National Park is also delightful. The main attraction for birdwatchers is the Bengal Florican, which can be seen in the grassland areas of the park. It is also a great place to see the Great Hornbill. The National Park lists around 380 bird species and the adjoining hilly terrain in Bhutan can easily add a hundred more species to that list. Good birds to look for are Greater Adjutant, Black-tailed Crake, Red-headed Trogon, Swamp Francolin, Wreathed and Rufous-necked Hornbills, Marsh and Jerdon’s Babblers, Pied Harrier, Indian and Bristled Grassbirds, Rufous-vented Laughingthrush, Ibisbill, and a variety of other foothill species.

Located in one of the richest biological zones in Eastern India, Neora Valley National Park is home to the rare Himalayan Red Panda, as well as many other mammal species like Himalayan Tahr, Asiatic Black Bear, Sambar, Indian Muntjac (Barking Deer), Himalayan Goral, Tiger, Leopard, Pangolin, Malayan Giant Squirrel, Wild Boar, Wild Dog, Clouded Leopard, and more. Neora Valley is also a fantastic birding destination, with species like Rufous-throated Partridge, Satyr Tragopan, Crimson-breasted Woodpecker, Darjeeling Woodpecker, Bay Woodpecker, Golden-throated Barbet, Hodgson's Hawk-Cuckoo, Lesser Cuckoo, Brown Wood Owl, Ashy Wood Pigeon, Mountain Imperial Pigeon, Jerdon's Baza, Black Eagle, Mountain Hawk-Eagle, Black-throated Thrush, and more.
