Manipur visit is incomplete without visiting Keibul Lamjao National Park. Even if you are short of time try to manage a half day for KLNP. Because it is the only floating national park in WORLD. It is currently under the tentative lists of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The park is a swamp with floating mass of vegetation created by accrual of organic garbage and biomass with soil particles that has been thickened into a solid form called phumdis, at the south–eastern side of the Loktak Lake.

Also, KLNP is the last natural habitat of the brow-antlered deer (Sangai) the dancing deer of Manipur. The ideal time to visit the national park is between 0600 and 1000 hrs in the morning and 1530 and 1800 hrs in the afternoon, when the Sangai deer comes out to feed in herds. A boat trip along the labyrinthine boat routes passing through colourful water plants would be a good way to see the park.

Keibul Lamjao national park is about 7 kilometers away from Loktak lake. A day visit is sufficient for this park. Area is about 40 km square, however most of the land is floating. This is the only floating national park in the world. Park is also famous for Manipur's endangered Sangai deer. You can go to watch tower by car, cycle or even by walking to have a view from the top. Boat ride option is also there. Scenic beauty from watch tower is awesome.
