How To Reach Singda Dam

Imphal, Manipur, India
Engineering Marvel and Scenic Retreat: Singda Dam, a multi-purpose project located in Singda village on the Singda River, is an impressive engineering feat and a popular scenic spot. Constructed by the National Projects Construction Corporation Limited and completed around 1989/1995, it is recognize d as one of the highest earthen dams in India. Situated at an altitude of approximately 921 meters (3,022 feet) above sea level, the dam's primary objectives are to provide drinking water to the greater Imphal area (augmenting water supply by about 7 MGD) and to offer irrigation facilities (irrigating over 4,148 hectares of paddy fields). The dam has created a large, calm, and placid artificial lake surrounded by lush green hills, making it a perfect destination for a day trip, picnicking, and nature appreciation. The drive from Imphal to Singda itself is famously picturesque, winding through rolling hills and verdant valleys, a pleasant escape from urban life. A small micro-hydel power plant also operates here, generating a minor amount of electricity. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity and peacefulness, far removed from the city bustle, which attracts health enthusiasts and hikers looking for clean air and tranquil scenery. The vast expanse of the reservoir contrasts beautifully with the dense surrounding forest cover, creating a stunning visual experience that changes dramatically with the seasons.:

How to Reach

By Air (Airport to Dam): From Imphal International Airport (IMF), hire a taxi for the approximate 25-30 KMS distance, which can take up to 1 hour due to the hill road section near the dam.

By Train (From Dimapur): From Dimapur Railway Station (DMV) (215 KMS), take a shared taxi or bus to Imphal, and then hire a local taxi or auto-rickshaw for the final 16-19 KMS to Singda on the Kangchup Road.

By Road (Kangchup Road Drive): The dam is reached via the Kangchup Road from Imphal. This is a famous, scenic drive, making a private car or hired taxi the best mode of transport. The route is clearly marked, and all local drivers are familiar with the destination. The last few kilometers are on a picturesque but sometimes winding and narrow road.

By Local Transport (Hired/Reserved Taxis): Due to the distance and the remote location, it is highly recommended to hire a taxi for a round trip or book a taxi for the full day from Imphal. Auto-rickshaws may not be suitable for the remote, uphill road and are less likely to be found for the return journey, making a pre-arranged transport a must for safety and convenience. :
