This tour service is fantastic. I have taken tours in Assam, Kolkata, and elsewhere am I have never had as great an experience as I have with Imphal Walks and... read more Yaiphaba, the tour guide/owner. He is greatly knowledgable and extremely personable. It was great to have an in-depth conversation with someone while on the tour and still get to see the major sites. I took the Imphal City Tour and the Loktak Lake tour, both of which were well planned and tailored to my needs. He even made extra stops along the way according to my interests (books and contemporary/abstract art). Well done! Highly recommended!

  Imphalwalks is truly the answer to a complete experience of Imphal even on a short visit like mine.
Mr Yai is very well informed, truly passionate about history and his... read more love for his homestate simply shines through.

My trip to loktak was filled with intersting short visits to cemeteries and memorials, brought alive by my guide's explanations. I learned a lot about Manipur, its people and its customs.

Truly a memorable trip !

I most certainly recommend Imphalwalks to anyone visiting Imphal, if you want to make your visit meaningful!

  Yai (Yaiphaba Kangjam) is one of the best tour organizers and guide we have ever come across. We (6 people) spent 10 days in NE Indian states of Manipur, Nagaland... read more and Assam in October 2019. With Yai, everyday was fun filled and a great learning experience. His knowledge of local and global history and culture was impressive. We learned a lot about the overlooked battles of Imphal and Kohima on this tour. Everything was well arranged - hotels, drivers, transport, food, etc. Whatever may be your interest to visit north east India - tribal culture, sports, history, arts - on behalf of our group, I highly recommend the services of 'Yai' - our great storyteller and his company Imphal Walks.

Thanks Yai and best wishes!

  The people of the Imphal Valley, the Meitei, have a long, documented history. The heart of the civilization is within the Kangla Fort where Meitei rulers lived as long ago... read more as 33AD. This is where the game of polo was ‘invented’. More recently, the area has been heavily influenced by the British. We were so fortunate to have the company of Yai (Yaiphaba Kangjam), founder of Imphal Walks – an excellent guide. He specialises in the history of the 2nd World War: the battle of Imphal played a pivotal role in preventing the advance of Japanese forces.

  Yai (Yaphaba Kangjam) and I spent some four days together airport pickup to airport drop. I had reached out to him mainly for the battlefield tours, but one thing led... read more to another and we covered a bunch more than sites related to WWII impact on Manipur.

There are other tour operator / guides in Manipur, but really doubt if there is anyone around who is even a scratch as far as WWII goes. The multi year, detailed and painstaking research exhibits itself in every piece of conversation and at every site. There is no way in hell one can locate these sites on one's own without pouring through material for years.

If you are not a WWII enthusiast, you might get a little bored in about a day. But, Yai does take you to other places as well if you want. His understanding of the history and culture is enough to keep you entertained as well.

Bottomline - if you are wanting to go to Manipur - go with Yai!

  Mr Yai is best tour organiser. I personally feel that visit to Manipur is incomplete without knowing its history & mr Yai fills that gap. It’s amazing experience to see... read more Imphal with mr Yai’s eye.

  We had one of the most amazing experiences of our life with Yai. He is simply amazing, his knowledge on Imphal and the world wars, his grasp on the area... read more and his overall kind nature will just win you over. You can simply book your flight and leave everything else to him, because he will ensure that everything is just perfect. Imphal is beautiful, do the complete tour with him, and you will have memories to cherish for a lifetime.

  We are still in Manipur but couldn't resist myself to give feedback about our experience with Mr. Yai. A truly amazing experience of understanding history of Manipur in general and... read more specifically about the battle of Imphal. Mr. Yai is really knowledgeable and keeps you engaged through anecdotes during the tour. A well researched person and passionate about Manipur. Highly recommend exploring Manipur with him.

Thank you Yai for all the conversations and information.
