Manas' most in-the-forest lodging experience, Mathanguri sits almost on the riverbank, deep inside the national park – in fact, it's just 400m from the Bhutan border. It has 10 simple medium-sized rooms and an 18-bed dorm. Veg/non-veg meals cost ₹120/240. You need to book through the Manas Tiger Project Field Director's office.
Safari jeeps from Bansbari can drop or pick you up here. Hot water is by bucket.
