The Burma Border Tour (110 km/ 4 hours)
Want to experience the thrill of crossing over what is perhaps India’s most
exciting and under-explored international border or of visiting the place
where South Asia meets Southeast Asia? Then this is the tour for you. We
take you to the border town of Moreh (110 km from Imphal) and cross over
into Tamu in Burma (Myanmar) to see its bustling bazaar, friendly people,
and the main Buddhist monastery. We top it all off with a delicious Burmese
meal! As if that wasn’t enough, en route near Tengnoupal you enjoy stunning
views from the road at 5,000 feet of the mountains that form the India-Burma
border. En route, we can see the Shenam Saddle where some of the most
ferocious fightings of WWII took place between the British and Japanese
soldiers. Drive back to Imphal. Overnight at Imphal.

of India. This beautiful home of the cordial indigenous Tangkhul Nagas is
situated at a height of 5, 453 ft above sea level. If greenery is something
that has always attracted you, Ukhrul is the town you must visit. The
beautiful sights on the way to Ukhrul are a real treat for the eyes. On

cheerful local people. Overnight at Ukhrul.

DAY 5
Ukhrul Tour
Ukhrul is famous for Shiroi Lily which blooms on the slopes of the Shiroi
Peak. Although the lily blooms only in May-June, many people love to trek
the heights of Shiroi Peak for breathtaking views of the landscape and
greenery. Phangrei is another trekking route for the more energetic person.
Visit the headman of Ukhrul town to see the human skulls preserved in his
house from the time of the ‘headhunting’ days. You will get to know how the
Tangkhul Nagas give themselves into western education and do away with
headhunting. Overnight at Ukhrul.
