The park is managed by a team of dedicated forest guards who work round the clock. It is also connected by biological corridors to the Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary, Thrumshingla National Park, and Khaling Wildlife Sanctuary, allowing free movement for these protected species. The Royal Manas National Park is bordered to the south by the Manas National Park in Assam (India), and the Jigme Singye National Park in the north. There are over 900 species of valuable plants found in the park. Major rivers of central Bhutan flow into the Manas river, which is home to the Gangetic river dolphin, three species of a rare migratory game fish- masheer, and numerous other aquatic creatures. There are 365 recorded birds species here, and another 200 believed to be in residence. The Park is home to the Royal bengal tiger, Asian elephant, one-horned rhino, clouded leopard, Hiamalayan black bear, pangolin, golden langur, and a variety of endangered birds, such as a variety of hornbills, the Pallas fishing eagle, great white bellied heron, spotted wren babbler, blue-headed rock thrush and emerald cuckoo. Today, the Park, which has been recently opened to limited tourism, is a sanctuary for thousands of plants and animal species, including many that are globally endangered. The Royal Manas National Park, which covers over 1,050 square kms and is spread over three districts, is the oldest designated wildlife sanctuary in Bhutan, protected since 1966. Our March Calendar features Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen and His Royal Highness The Gyalsey at the Royal Manas National Park.
