The Manas wildlife sanctuary, which is also a tiger reserve and a world heritage site, is one such place in the north-east Indian state of Assam that is home to the largest number of animal species in the country.
In Manas, the golden langur has chosen to remain on the west bank of Manas river, leaving the east bank to the capped langur which is also called leaf monkey.
Besides their restricted distribution between the two rivers, Manas and Sankosh, the golden langurs live in the highlands further up in the evergreen forests in the fl mountain range of Central Bhutan and as such are considered primarily a submontane species.

Moreover, the deleterious effects of wide-scale annual burning on the tall grasslands in Manas are considered less severe than in the reserve forests, owing to the absence of the associated exploitative practices, the deliberate management policy of early 'patch-burning', and the rapid regrowth of vegetation consequent of condensation and a high water table.
The Manas Sanctuary was one of the first sanctuaries to be designated in (1973) as a Tiger Reserve, and its boundaries were extended to a total area of 2,837 sq km in 1980.
Manas is ideally suited for this purpose since it supports a variety of different tall grass communities, and representative populations of a larger number of major (including Schedule 1) species of herbivores than any other area in the Indian sub-continent.
