Itinerary

Meals: Dinner included. Allow time for acclimatisation; Imphal sits at a moderate elevation.
Loktak Lake boat ride & Sendra (Floating island) visit
Drive to Loktak Lake (approx. 1 - 1.5 hours). Take a scenic boat cruise across the lake to experience the unique phumdis (floating biomass). Visit Sendra Island for lakeside views and community interactions. Learn about traditional fishing methods and the lake’s ecology. Late afternoon check-in at lakeside accommodation in the Moirang/Loktak area and relax by the water.
Highlights: Sunrise/sunset over Loktak are spectacular — keep a camera ready.
Keibul Lamjao National Park & Moirang heritage
Early morning nature excursion to Keibul Lamjao National Park, the world’s only floating national park and the habitat of the endangered Sangai deer. Guided nature walk/boat safari (subject to park permissions) and wildlife-interpretation session.
Return towards Moirang to visit the INA Memorial (where the tricolour was first hoisted by the Indian National Army), local temples and lakeside viewpoints. Explore traditional villages en route to Imphal, arriving by evening.
Important: Entry to Keibul Lamjao may require advance permits; we'll assist with paperwork.
Cultural immersion: crafts, handloom & Manipuri dance
Delve into Manipuri culture with visits to handloom and craft centres showcasing Manipuri weaving, pottery and mask-making. Meet local artisans and see live demonstrations.
