Imphal Valley · Northeast Hill Massif

भूभाग और पारिस्थितिक अंचल

Subtropical, moderated by altitude — the valley sits high enough that summer rarely passes 33 °C and January nights fall to 3–5 °C. Rainfall runs about 1,400–1,800 mm, well below the Northeast average, because the encircling hills take much of it out of the air before it arrives. The result is a valley considerably drier and cooler than the plains to the west, with a long clear winter.

घूमने का सबसे अच्छा समयOctober to March, with Yaoshang in March and Ningol Chakouba in November as the two calendar events worth planning around. Sangai are most reliably seen at Keibul Lamjao between November and March, when the phumdi is firm and the grass is short. Non-residents require an Inner Line Permit, reintroduced in 2019.
