Manipur, called the 'Jewel of India' by Nehru, is a state of graceful culture and unique landscapes centred on the capital, Imphal, and the famous Loktak Lake.
Loktak Lake
Loktak is the largest freshwater lake in the North East, famed for its phumdis — floating islands of vegetation — and Keibul Lamjao, the world's only floating national park, home to the rare sangai deer.
