The people who are coming to my city must keep an open mind. If they’re looking for a place to enjoy nightlife and modern infrastructure, then they will be gravely disappointed. For communication, either Hindi or English or even Manipuri is a must. Imphal is not a crime-free zone so they should remember to lock their doors and houses.

It’s a bustling city. Markets and roads can get crowded almost all the time. They might consider having a friend there to help them out. Otherwise, they may find it challenging to live here.

He or she must know that it’s surrounded by a hilly area. Manipur is fond of Sangai. There a famous lake called Loktak Lake where there are floating phumdis and most people depend on this lake. They earn by selling fish from this lake. The nature of this city is quite amusing and beautiful. The best part is the sunset.

Imphal is the capital of Manipur which is one of the North Eastern States of India. Diesel Auto Rickshaws take common routes around the city. “Manipuri” is the major language in Imphal, followed by Hindi and English respectively. Outsiders are advised not to venture out on the outskirts of the city especially at night because the area has been affected by internal and international armed conflict for the past 40 years.

The place is a cold, hilly area where one will find lots of trees. It’s 83 kilometres from the main city. The journey will be hectic and rough from the city as the road condition is terrible. It’s advisable that one takes a pill if he/she has motion sickness. The town is clean and Eco- friendly.

Imphal is a great city. The weather is the best; summers aren’t too hot and winters aren’t too cold. It has a very soothing atmosphere. We have a very diverse community; there are so many people here. Health care facilities are well-developed. Everywhere greenery is present. Our state is surrounded by seven different ranges of mountains. We also have the world’s only floating National Park which is the Keibul Lamjao.

It is a small city with diverse ethnic groups. We have more than 60 dialects. The people are very good. The aura is amazing. The food and culture is remarkable. Being a small city, finding a job is a big hurdle. But as a tourist spot, it is remarkable. We are not much developed in technological features yet.

Hindi as a language is not widely spoken here so knowing how to speak English will be beneficial for better communication with the local people. In addition there is no nightlife in Imphal but compared to other states of India it is a lot safer here especially for women.
