FAQs On Shirui Base
Ukhrul, Manipur, India
Natural Grandeur and Ecological Importance: The Shirui Base serves as the starting point for the trek to the majestic Shirui Kashong Peak (2835 m), which is globally recognized as the exclusive habitat of the legendary Shirui Lily (Lilium Mackliniae), the state flower of Manipur. The entire area is a proposed national park, characterized by sub-alpine forests and high-altitude grasslands. The base area itself is a wide, open meadow where local festivals and gatherings often take place, particularly during the May-June blooming season of the lily. The village of Shirui is a vibrant Tangkhul Naga settlement, offering a glimpse into their traditional agrarian lifestyle and strong community bonds. The landscape is marked by steep slopes and deep ravines, where numerous streams and rivers originate. The base has basic amenities, including a check-post and small local tea stalls run by the community. The journey to the base is scenic, winding through verdant hills. The area is also ecologically significant, home to various rare flora and fauna, including the endangered Mrs. Hume's Pheasant. The protection efforts by the Shirui Youth Club are crucial to preserving the delicate ecosystem of the lily and the surrounding environment, making the base more than just a starting line—it is a conservation front. The air is crisp and clean, reflecting the high altitude. The cultural exchange at the base often involves tourists interacting with the welcoming Tangkhul locals.History and Conservation Efforts: The peak was 'discovered' by the British botanist Frank Kingdon Ward in 1946. The conservation efforts, especially against trampling tourists and unplanned deforestation, are a major theme here. (Approx. 400 words) :
