recently i came across an article on Facebook talking about a possibility of restoring forest corridor running from Chitwan to Manas in what will be a Terai Arc Assam linkage. Here is the article explaining this, looks credible.

Terai Arc Landscape currently extends for around 50,000 sq.km from Chitwan/parsa to Corbett/rajaji.

In Nepal there is a already an initiative to extend the current corridor up to atleast Koshi Tappu floodplain reserve in what is termed as 'the Greater Terai Arc' by Wwf.

If the greater Terai Arc is restored in the near future then there is substantial possibility to connect Assam and Terai (note: elephants migrating  to koshi Tappu have come from the existing forests of  North Bengal, India which lies in the east.)
