Phalong Village

Tamenglong, Manipur, India
Phalong Village, also known as Bhalok, is a picturesque settlement perched on a ridge in the Tamenglong district. It is widely celebrated as the "Orange Capital" of Manipur due to its vast and high-quality citrus plantations. The village is home to the Rongmei Naga community, who have preserved the ir traditional lifestyle for centuries. During the harvest season, the entire hillside turns a vibrant shade of orange, creating a visual spectacle that attracts tourists from across the state. The air in Phalong is remarkably fresh, scented with the fragrance of blooming citrus flowers. The village is also a gateway to the Jiri-Makru Wildlife Sanctuary, making it a hub for eco-tourism and bird watching. Life here moves at a slow, peaceful pace, offering a stark contrast to the bustle of urban centers.
