Manas National Park: I was told by some people that i can skip Manas and go to Kaziranga but later on when i went to Manas i realised that- great i went to Manas national park. It was a enjoyable and thrilling experience to do jeep safari at Manas National park.

#Wildlife #Assam
During our jeep safari we witnessed a instance where Elephant started chasing our jeep, Since we were maintaining safe distance, we could move back, this is an important tip for travellers.

If you travel to Manas wild life sanctuary, you will get to see many Wild life elephants of Assam.

As per me, you should ideally do a night stay at Manas National park, there are many homestay and resorts in the proximity of National Park.
