About Ukhrul

Journey to Ukhrul, a breathtaking hill station in Manipur renowned for its mist-layered mountains, pleasant climate, and pristine natural beauty.

This picturesque destination is the traditional homeland of the indigenous Tangkhul Naga tribe, offering visitors a deep dive into rich tribal culture, vibrant festivals, and local handicrafts. Nature lovers will be captivated by the scenic Khangkhui Cave, an ancient limestone structure dating back to the Stone Age, and the mesmerizing Khayang Peak, which provides spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. Trekking enthusiasts can explore untamed forest trails and discover hidden waterfalls like the magnificent Kachouphung Lake.
