Abstract Wildlife tourism has emerged as a sizeable contributor to sustainable financial improvement, biodiversity conservation, and cultural protection (Goodwin, 2016; Weaver, 2014). Manas and Kaziranga National Parks in Assam, each UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are renowned for their rich biodiversity and precise geological features, making them best destinations for ecotourism (Ghosh, 2019; Meena, 2020). This paper explores techniques to sell flora and fauna tourism inside the geotourism panorama of those country wide parks, emphasizing the stability between conservation and economic advantages (Buckley, 2010; Tisdell & Wilson, 2012). Manas National Park, situated in the Himalayan foothills, is known for its particular ecosystem comprising grasslands, tropical forests, and riverine habitats. It is home to endangered species together with the Bengal tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, and pygmy hog (National Tiger Conservation Authority, 2021; Bhatnagar, Mathur, & McCarthy, 2017). Similarly, Kaziranga National Park, positioned along the Brahmaputra floodplains, hosts the world’s biggest population of one-horned rhinoceroses, along elephants, swamp deer, and wild water buffaloes (Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, 2020; Wildlife Institute of India, 2018). The rich geological range of those areas, shaped via tectonic actions and river dynamics, gives a completely unique setting for ecotourism (Wearing & Neil, 2009; Kruger, 2005). Promoting natural world tourism in Manas and Kaziranga requires a multi-faceted technique that integrates conservation, community engagement, and sustainable tourism practices (Das & Chatterjee, 2015; World Bank, 2019). Key techniques encompass ecotourism initiatives, accountable natural world safaris, guided geological excursions, and academic applications that spotlight the parks’ ecological and geological importance (United Nations World Tourism Organization, 2022). The development of green infrastructure, including sustainable lodges, waste management systems, and renewable energy resources, can minimize the environmental footprint at the same time as enhancing tourist reports (Weaver, 2014; Goodwin, 2016).
