Overview

Tamenglong district in Manipur is an unexplored paradise, known as the 'Land of the Hornbill'. Home to the Zeliangrong Naga tribes, the region is characterized by its dense subtropical rainforests, dramatic gorges cut by the Barak River, spectacular caves, and some of the most pristine biodiversity in Northeast India. The orange orchards and the famous Zeilad Lake — shaped like a figure-8 — make Tamenglong a bucket-list destination for those seeking paths truly less traveled.
