How To Reach Shirui National Park
Ukhrul, Manipur, India
Geographical and Ecological Significance: Established in 1982, Shirui National Park covers an area of approximately 41.30 square kilometers, encompassing the slopes and peaks of the Shirui Hills, including the Shirui Kashong Peak. The park’s elevation varies significantly, contributing to its dive rse ecosystem. The predominant vegetation is tropical and subtropical forest, giving way to temperate and alpine flora at higher altitudes, featuring dense woods of pine, oak, and especially rhododendron. The park is a critical biodiversity zone in the Indo-Myanmar region. Flora and Fauna Diversity: The park's international fame rests on its flagship species, the Shirui Lily (Lilium Mackliniae), found only here. Apart from the lily, the area is rich in various flowering plants, medicinal herbs, and rare orchids. The park is a home to several endangered and rare animal species, including the Clouded Leopard (Manipur's state animal), Asiatic Black Bear, Muntjac (Barking Deer), Hoolock Gibbon, and Wild Boar. It is also recognized as an Important Bird Area (IBA), hosting species like the Blyth’s Tragopan and Mrs. Hume’s Bar-backed Pheasant, making it a paradise for both wildlife and bird enthusiasts. Conservation Status and Local Involvement: As a protected area, the park's primary mandate is the conservation of the Shirui Lily and its unique habitat. The local Tangkhul Naga communities are actively involved in the park's protection and maintenance, serving as crucial partners in conservation efforts. This community involvement ensures the preservation of the delicate ecosystem against environmental threats. The park’s beauty is a blend of rugged mountain trails and vibrant floral life.

How to Reach

By Air: Fly to Imphal International Airport (IMF), which is approximately 105 KM away. From the airport, a taxi or shared cab (like a Tata Sumo) is required to reach Ukhrul town (3-4 hours). The final 18 KM to the park gate is covered by local rented jeeps or taxis, taking approximately 45 minutes on the hilly road.

By Train: The nearest railhead is Dimapur Railway Station (DMV) in Nagaland (314 KM). From Dimapur, travelers take an inter-state bus or a private taxi towards Ukhrul, a long and scenic journey of 9-10 hours. Direct local transportation from Dimapur to the park is not feasible; it must pass through Ukhrul town.

By Road: Ukhrul town is accessible via NH 150 from Imphal (84 KM). Regular bus services and readily available shared taxis connect the two places. For the last stretch from Ukhrul town to the park entrance, it is best to hire a local vehicle for a round trip to ensure transport back. The road from Ukhrul is generally in fair condition but is winding and steep.

By Local Transport: Within Ukhrul, a pre-booked local cab is the most reliable way to reach the park entrance. Negotiate the fare for a return journey, including waiting time, with the driver, as taxis are limited at the park gate itself.
