There is just so much to explore in Manipur, picturesque as this state is. No less than Jawaharlal Nehru acclaimed it as the ‘Land of Jewels’.
As a map of Manipur would show, the state is situated at the easternmost part of India, with Myanmar in the east, Cachar district of Assam, Nagaland in the north and Mizoram in the south. The location is a giveaway for keen travelers.
With the lush green hills and all these in place, Manipur is every way a tourist destination, not least when the freshwater lake, Loktak, provides a dramatic backdrop.
Before anybody should check out Manipur’s wide, open spaces, every map of Manipur would show that the journey starts in the mesmerizing capital city of Imphal, the capital city. In here, shoppers can sate their whims at the Paona Bazaar or Khwairambam Market. Trekkers, on the other hand, may zero in on scaling Sudarshan Peak, near Loktak hydroelectric power project. |
