Guwahati: Manas National Park and Tiger Reserve in Assam will reopen to tourists on October 2, marking the start of the 2026-27 tourism season following its annual monsoon closure.
The reopening will be marked by a special programme at the park’s second main entrance on October 2, Bansbari Range Ranger Nitish Boro said.
