Welcome to Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India. This iconic lake, located in Bishnupur district, at a distance of 53 km from Imphal, is known for its circular floating swamps (called phumdis in the local language).
The lake is home to 233 species of aquatic plants, more than 100 species of birds, and 425 species of animals, including the Indian python and sambhar.
Sangai is the state animal of Manipur. Its hooves are adapted to walk on the phumdis.
This park, which was initially declared as a Sanctuary in 1966, was subsequently declared a National Park in 1977.
