Loktak Lake
The largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, famous for its unique floating circular islands called Phumdis.
Churachandpur Ridges
Stunning aerial views of the north-south oriented hill ranges characteristic of the Indo-Burma fold belt.
Barak River Confluence
Watch the Barak River as it snakes through deep valleys and meets its tributaries near the Tipaimukh region.
Hill Settlements
Isolated villages perched precariously on the high ridges of the Manipur hills.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the left to see Loktak Lake within the first 5-8 minutes of flight. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the haze that often builds up in the valleys by afternoon. During monsoon, expect dramatic cloud formations over the hills.
