How To Reach Phumdi

Manipur, India
Place Details: Unique Phenomenon: Phumdis are a heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil, and organic matter at various stages of decomposition, floating on the surface of Loktak Lake. These are unique to Manipur and vary in thickness, with some being strong enough to support the weight of houses and even a national park. National Park: The largest and most significant Phumdi covers an area of 40 sq km and constitutes the Keibul Lamjao National Park, the only floating park in the world. This mass of vegetation is the last natural refuge for the endangered Sangai (brow-antlered deer), which has adapted to "dance" on the spongy surface. Livelihood Source: For centuries, the local fishing community has lived on these floating islands in temporary huts called Phumshangs. They use the Phumdis for traditional fishing techniques like "Athaphum," where circular enclosures are created to trap fish, showcasing a deep human-nature synergy. Environmental Balance: The Phumdis play a crucial role in the lake's ecosystem by filtering nutrients and providing a breeding ground for various aquatic species and migratory birds. During the dry season, the Phumdis sink to the bottom to absorb nutrients from the soil, rising again when the water levels increase.
