Manipur
The largest freshwater lake in northeastern India, Loktak Lake is known for its numerous phumdis, or floating islands with vegetation.
In Manipur, the Naga and Kuki peoples are Indigenous hill tribes that primarily inhabit the state's hill areas.12
More specifically, the Nagas are generally located in the northern hill regions, while the Kukis are primarily found in the southern hill areas. These groups, along with other hill tribes, reside in the hill tracts, distinct from the Meitei community, who predominantly occupy the Manipur valley.213
