Pro Tips
Visit Sendra Island viewpoint for panoramic views of the lake.
Explore local fishing villages around the lake.
Note that the "Sendra Hill" viewpoint offers the best panoramic view of the circular floating islands, but the climb is steep; use the local shared cabs from Moirang.
Try the local "Loktak Fish Curry" prepared with bamboo shoots; it is a regional delicacy but can be quite pungent and spicy for those unaccustomed to North-Eastern flavors.
Bring insect repellent for mosquitoes.
Avoid swimming during monsoon season or heavy rainfall.
