The Jewel of Manipur’s People
The wealth of this Indian state comes from the very people who have settled in the valley. Its biggest ethnic group is the Meitei whose language, Manipuri is also widely spoken in the state.
Located the Northeast India with Nagaland and Assam as its neighbors, Manipur primarily relies on agriculture with its amiable climate owing to the hills and valleys.
For tourists, a great time to look around and visit Manipur is October through February where the weather is pleasant without the scorching heat of the sun or the humidity for that matter. Of course, your Manipur holiday packages should be ready by that time.

Top Destinations in Manipur
Look no further than the state’s main city and capital, Imphal. It has the conveniences for the modern-day traveler: airport, malls, and such. But don’t be fooled as the city is host to royal palaces, temples, and gardens of ancient kingdoms.
The most famous structure in Imphal is the Shree Shree Govindajee Temple, which sits in the vicinity of the Royal Palace. It is an architectural masterpiece, considered to be the largest Hindu Vaishnav temple in the city.
When in Manipur, it’s hard to miss Loktak Lake. Touted as Northeast India’s largest freshwater lake and home to phumdis, the lake flows by Moirang. The phumdis themselves are a sight to behold: they are “floating islands” of vegetation and soil that are home to wildlife and plant life.
The lake is the world’s only floating national park that also supports the livelihood of fisherfolks and farmers.
Dzukou Valley, which borders Nagaland, captures the breathtaking beauty of Manipur. The valley was named after the Dzukou lily, a species of lily that can only be found in the said valley. Joining the Dzukou lily are wildflowers and birds that serenade the lush carpet of green crisscrossed by rivers.
