 Manas National Park, located amidst the mild slopes at the Himalayan foothills in Assam, is the lone Tiger Reserve of its kind in the entire northeast. Besides the increasing tiger population, Manas National Park gives shelter also to the rare golden langur, the hispid hare, the pigmy hog, the one-horned rhinoceros and at least twenty other species of animals and highly endangered birds. Manas derives its name from the Goddess Manasa. The forest goes beyond the Indian territory and reaches Bhutan. The crystal waters of the Manas River determine the international border. Some areas that adjoin the river path are often flooded, but only for a brief period; the water level subsides as soon as the rainfall stops because of the sloping. Mixed deciduous type of vegetation is found in the Manas National Park. The dense forest cover often prevents the sunrays from the forest.
