FLOATING ISLANDS OF MANIPUR

#ashokasays Did you know 70:

Floating Islands, Manipur

Situated in Loktak Lake, the largest lake in North-East India, the floating islands are very rare. Although floating islands exist some parts around the world, the ones in Manipur float due to years of natural accumulation of vegetation, soil and other organic matter, a collection of which is called Phumdis. A unique tourist destination, the floating islands are also home to the worlds largest floating park, called Keibul Lamjao Natural Park.
