Village

A small village of the Thangals, a sub-tribe of the Naga people, in the northern part of Manipur, 22 km south of the district headquarters at Senapati and 42 km from Imphal, in Kangpokpi tehsil of Senapati district. It went by Yaikongpao before it took its present name. This is a working village rather than a sight, with nothing arranged for visitors, so the reason to come is the people and the road that gets you there. Worth it only if you are already heading up the Senapati road with time in hand.

Imphal

Imphal, the capital of Manipur, is a culturally rich valley city famed for the all-women Ima Keithel market, the WWII Imphal battle sites, classical Manipuri dance, and as the gateway to the floating Loktak Lake.

Kangla Fort

Kangla Fort

Kangla Fort is a historic fortified palace complex on the banks of the Imphal River in Imphal, Manipur. It served as the seat of power of Manipur's rulers until 1891 and survives largely in ruins on the western bank of the river, densely forested and nicknamed "the Lungs of Imphal."

Loktak Lake

Loktak Lake

Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, famous for its phumdis — floating islands of vegetation that dot the water like a green patchwork. Near Moirang in Manipur, it has become an emerging offbeat destination for travellers seeking surreal landscapes far from the mainstream trail. The lake is home to the only floating national park in the world (Keibul Lamjao, refuge of the rare Sangai deer) and to fishing communities who live on the phumdis. Homestays on the lakeshore, sunrise boat rides and birdwatching make it a quiet, photogenic stop in India's far east.
