Ching-Ngam-Ya Park
Natural and Urban Escape: Ching-Ngam-Ya Park is a beautiful recreational space located on a small hillock that offers one of the best panoramic views of the Imphal Valley. It serves as a "green lung" for the city, where locals flock to escape the urban noise and enjoy the fresh breeze. The park is c haracterized by its winding pathways that lead up to various viewing decks. It is a popular spot for morning walkers and fitness enthusiasts who use the incline for exercise. Historically, the hill held strategic importance during local conflicts, but today it is a symbol of peace and leisure. The park is beautifully landscaped with a variety of seasonal flowers and evergreen trees. For tourists, it provides a perfect vantage point to see the layout of the city and the surrounding mountains. The atmosphere is particularly magical during the rainy season when the entire valley turns a vibrant shade of green.
