About the Destination

Discover Bishnupur

Bishnupur is famous for Loktak Lake — the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India — which is unique for its floating islands called phumdis. The Keibul Lamjao National Park, floating on the lake, is the last natural habitat of the endangered Sangai deer. The serene Sendra Island with its tourist bungalow is a perfect retreat from city life.
