Loktak Lake

Loktak Lake ranks as the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, distinguished by phumdis, thick floating masses of vegetation and soil that drift across its surface. Small islands and fishing villages built on these phumdis give the lake a unique, almost otherworldly character. Boating trips from Sendra offer wide views across the water, and the lake supports a rich variety of birdlife alongside the local fishing community that has adapted its way of life around the floating terrain.
