Langol Peak Garden
Langol Peak Garden, also known as Tlanglhungbung Leikol, is a picturesque destination located in the Machi sub-division of Chandel. This garden is steeped in local folklore; it is believed that the legendary heroine Thoibi used to come here to pick the special Thoibi-Lei flowers. The peak offers a c ommanding view of the surrounding landscape, including the Manipur valley and distant hillocks. Historically, the site served as a camp for allied forces during World War II, adding a layer of historical intrigue to its natural beauty. The garden is well-maintained with various flowering plants, paved walkways, and seating areas. It has become a favorite spot for young couples and families from across the state. The cool breeze and the scent of wild flowers make it an ideal spot for relaxation. The drive to the peak is also scenic, passing through quaint villages and green slopes. The peak is often covered in a blanket of mist, creating a mystical atmosphere. It is a perfect example of how community-led tourism can preserve both nature and legend. The garden is a symbol of peace and beauty in the district.:

The architecture is designed to blend with the hillside, using terraced levels to prevent soil erosion. Benches are made from local stone and timber. Small rest houses are built with sloped roofs to handle the heavy rainfall typical of the region. The layout encourages a winding walk that reveals different views at different heights. : -
