About

What this place is like

Imphal rests in a fertile valley—Manipur's capital where Meitei culture, polo history, and wartime memory converge. Ima Keithel (Mother's Market) run entirely by women is unmissable; Kangla Fort and Loktala excursions round out stays. Check current Inner Line Permit rules for Indian visitors—requirements have changed periodically.
