Hindu myth's version of Noah, Manu (Manu Vaivasvate) was washing his hands in the river one day when the waters brought to him a tiny fish, which begged him to save it, saying that it would return the favour.

Manu is also home to dozens of native Amerindian tribes, some of which have contact with the modern world and others that remain secluded.
Because Manu is so isolated and access is so restricted, reserve visits are expensive and plainly beyond the scope of most budget travelers ($500-$1,500 or more per person for a 5- to 8-day trip).
