Loktak, as this lake is called, offers a unique tourism destination, offering visitors excellent opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the lake and its several islands of floating “phumdis” of different geometrical shapes.
Phumdis are a mass of vegetation, soil and other organic matter that accumulate over a period of time that resemble a landmass that float freely in the lake. The largest floating island covers an area of 40 sq. km. and constitutes the world’s only floating park, Keibul Lamjao National Park - which is also the home of the Shanghai deer.
The Sendra Tourist Home itself is located on a large Phumdi in Loktak Lake.
