Search flights from IMF to IXA
Loktak Lake
The largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, famous for its unique floating islands called 'phumdis'.
Manipur Hills
Sequential ridges of lush greenery that create a wave-like pattern across the landscape.
Barak River
The winding path of the Barak River as it snakes through the deep valleys of the region.
Gumti Wildlife Sanctuary
Dense tropical evergreen forests visible as the aircraft enters the Tripura airspace.
Sit on the left to witness the iconic Loktak Lake approximately 5-8 minutes after departure from Imphal. Early morning flights (07:00-09:00) are highly recommended as the air is clearest, providing sharp contrasts between the water and the greenery. During the monsoon, this side offers dramatic views of massive waterfalls emerging from the hillsides.

Imphal Cityscape

Barail Range
Distant views of the higher peaks that mark the boundary between Manipur and Assam.
Agartala Outskirts
Intricate layouts of rural settlements and rubber plantations as the plane approaches the airport.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Imphal Valley immediately after takeoff. Watch for the sharp transition from the flat valley floor to the rugged mountains. In the winter months (November to February), morning fog often blankets the valleys, creating a 'sea of clouds' effect that is particularly photogenic from this side.
