Trekking

• Laimaton trek: It starts from the village of Lamdan and continues on to the peak known during the Battle of Imphal as Point 5846. The trek gives you a feel of the challenging terrain; the starting point for this trek is the Manipur Mountaineering Institute (MMI) Complex in the village of Lamdan, which is an 80-minute drive (approx.) from Imphal (one way). Departure from Imphal for Lamdan is at 6 am. The trek takes around 5-6 hours.

• The Nungshigum trek: This trek covers the massif–called Hill 3833 by the British and Nungshigum by the Japanese–that was witness to a fierce battle in April 1944. The trek takes you up to Nungshigum/Hill 3833, a Second World War battlefield that seems to have changed little since 1944. Hear both sides of the story and get a sense of the tough terrain in which the fighting unfolded some 70 years ago.

Paragliding

Paragliding is offered at Lamdan Institute as are other adventure sports, and if information is provided in advance, power paragliding courses can be organized as well, but at a much higher cost.

Rafting

Manipur’s short rivers and their tumultuous terrain offer exciting rafting options. From the Lamdan Institute, a 16 km rafting course takes you up to Nungleiban and usually lasts for two hours. For those interested in rafting for a longer duration, the same course is extended up to the town of None, which is 64 km from Lamdan.
