Manipur
The jewelled land of the floating lake.
Manipur, 'a jewelled land', is famed for Loktak — the largest freshwater lake in the North East, dotted with floating islands of vegetation called phumdis and home to Keibul Lamjao, the world's only floating national park.
TripTrix Manipur journeys explore Imphal's history, the sacred island temples of Loktak and the graceful Ras Leela classical dance born in these valleys.
What makes Manipur unmissable
Loktak Lake
Ringed by floating phumdis and fishermen's huts — magical at sunrise.
Keibul Lamjao
The only floating national park on earth, refuge of the rare Sangai deer.
Imphal heritage
Kangla Fort, the WWII memorials and the all-women Ima Keithel market.
Manipuri dance
The graceful Ras Leela, one of India's classical dance forms.
When to travel to Manipur
Cool, dry and ideal for the lake and valley sightseeing.
Pleasant with fewer visitors around Loktak.
Green and lush but humid with frequent rain.
