That brochure contained some fine pictures taken by late E. P. Gee, especially of a golden langur and the famous view of Manas bend [NOTE: thus typical Manas bend is actually inside Bhutan. After that I did not look back.

Bulko and its eastern buffer are located in district. It gave me ample opportunity to play a Major role in helping a ravaged national park and a world herita to be back on the rails. MANAS is among the better known wildlife of India.
