The Kangla Heritage Walk
A walk inside the historic Kangla Fort is a must if you really want to understand Manipur. Walk with one of our storytellers and listen
Truly a ‘jewelled land’ with many ‘world’s only’ tagged sites or things to see. Just google about Sangai deer, Keibul Lamjao National Park, Polo, Shirui Lily, etc. The rolling blue hills, unexploited nature, myriad of cultures, traditions and lovely people will all come along as you visit Manipur to find out more about these names.
Manipur is the place which connects South Asia and Southeast Asia. Fancy travelling on the ‘Khyber Pass of the east’ and have a taste of Myanmar without passport and visa?

I travelled to Manipur with 8 people from 20th March to 26th March 2022. Imphal Walks had organised our tour for 5 nights and 6 days.
Our main intention... read more to visit Manipur in this season was to witness Holi Festival.
Mr.Yai, owner of Imphal Walks, is very talented and informative person. He has a complete information about Manipur history and 2nd World War. He showed us different Memorials, Palace etc. His planning was really upto the mark. He selected very good hotels for accomodation. We spent 4 nights in Imphal and 1 night at Loktak Lake. We could witness Halangkar Celebration of Holi, Local cultural dance and Moonlight Dance which was the main attraction of this tour.
Overall Mr.Yai organised a very nice tour for us and we are really very much thankful to him for a lovely company. I strongly recommend Imphal Walks for Manipur Sightseeing.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.

Yai (Yaiphaba Kangjam) is one of the best tour organizers and guide we have ever come across so far. He made it truly memorable with in-depth explanation of each attraction without any compromise. His passion and love for Manipur is amazing and inspiring too.
Imphal - Moreh- Myanmar border road trip was jewel in the crown perhaps. The foot hills of Gibraltar hill among several hill in the area where the WWII - the battle of Imphal was actually fought, was a thrilling experience. Yai's narration virtually takes you in that era .
We are grateful to him for helping us understand Manipur through systematically unfolding the events with history, which otherwise ,was unexplored destination for most of us.
