Himalayan tigers are like Amur tigers showing great fluctuations in their weights between seasons. Himalayan tigers from Bhutan are very different looking to Himalayan tigers from Western Nepal and Uttarakhand. 

Manas tigers which are very close to Royal Manas are two different entities. One lives in massive grasslands and wooded forests (like Kaziranga), the other lives in Alpine-like forests with much lesser and smaller prey. I am not saying there is no overlap between them, it isn’t that substantial, though.

Yes i know that. Also they work mainly in the Royal Manas NP as i know. Though some tigers from their page looked huge. 

@GuateGojira The weight may depend heavily on the collared males i guess. I was impressed by some males in the areas as i said before.

Here's a Royal Manas female originally posted by Copters that was 160kg

THIMPHU (Kuensel/ANN) – The spotting of an adult female tiger in Kabesa, Thimphu on March 21 came as a big relief to the foresters of the National Tiger Centre (NTC).
Officials say they have been searching for tigers in the vast forests of Royal Manas National Park (RMNP) in Bhutan to collar and study.
Five foresters from the nature conservation division (NCD) rescued the threatened cat at 5am on March 22 in the vicinity. NCD officials said the tiger weighed about 160kg. “It ate a goat carcass and drank well,” an official said.
An official from NCD, Sonam Wangdi, said that the tiger would be kept under observation for a few days at the wildlife clinic at Taba, Thimphu. “There is no sign of injury physically, but we’ll have to conduct some tests to be sure,” he said.
He said that it could likely be relocated once it becomes fit.
NTC’s programme director, Tshering Tempa (PhD), who is also a senior Tiger Biologist, was on his way to Thimphu from Gelephu yesterday. “From preliminary information, we think it is not so old,” Tshering Tempa said.
