Wildlife Park

The interest here is where it sits: right on the Indo-Myanmar border in Chandel district, at the seam where two major geographical zones meet, so the forest carries Indo-Burma diversity rather than the usual Indian mix. It covers 184.8 square kilometres and lies about 110 km from Imphal, which is a long day's driving in this terrain. Naturalists will get more out of it than casual visitors. Treat it as a trip for people who already know what they are looking for.

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.
