How To Reach Kumbi Town

Bishnupur, Manipur, India:
Overview of the Town:: Kumbi Town is a significant, yet quiet, sub-divisional headquarters in the Bishnupur district, serving as a primary link to the less-explored southern reaches of Loktak Lake. The town is predominantly inhabited by the Meitei people and thrives on agriculture, fishing, and loca l trade. It is a traditional Manipuri town, largely untouched by rapid modernization, offering a genuine glimpse into the rural and sub-urban life of the state. It is famous for its proximity to large parts of the lake's phumdi network and the intricate system of fishing channels and phumsangs (floating huts). Local Culture and Economy:: The economy is heavily reliant on the resources from Loktak Lake. You can observe local fishermen bringing in their daily catch and the vibrant activity around the local market. The culture is deeply traditional, with local temples and Laipham (sacred groves) being important centers of community life. Significance as a Base:: Due to its location, it is a great starting point for travelers wanting to explore the more remote villages on the lake or for those interested in studying the unique ecology of the floating islands without the main tourist crowds of Sendra or Moirang.
