Chandel Tourism

Chandel district is one of the 16 districts of Manipur state in northeastern India. As of 2011 it is the second least populous district in the state, after Tamenglong.
Chandel is one of the least populated districts of Manipur. The government of India, primarily the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has named the district among the most backward districts of the country and thus receives funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme ever year. Under the Trans-Asian Super Highway project, Chandel can become an important town of the north east. Once the highway is operational, Chandel will become the gateway to many Asian countries.

Chandel, also known as Lamka is tiny, but a scenic district in the North-Eastern state of Manipur. It is one of the main nine districts in the state and also the second least populous of all. Situated along the lines of the international border separating India and Myanmar, it has come to be known as Gateway to Myanmar. It lies about 64 kms away from Imphal, with NH-39 passing through.
It’s famous for being home to more than 20 native tribes. Chandel is a wisp of culture and traditions, given the huge number of tribes that live here. Each tribe offers a unique identity to the area, where colours of their cultures are blown out in all directions. Travelers visiting Chandel can soak in the alluring art forms along with sprightly music and dance.
