Thanga is a little village in the Bishnupur district of Manipur, North East India, next to the buffer zone of the well-known Loktak Lake. At about 2455 feet above sea level, Thanga is about 55 kilometers from Imphal, the state capital. There are two methods for reaching Thanga. One way to reach Thanga is to take a private taxi from Imphal. The most practical method to get to Loktak Lake and the settlement of Thanga is to take the short, hour-plus journey.

A combination of shared vehicles can be used for the second option, starting with the 50 km trip from Imphal to Moirang. Near Ina market in the city center, vehicles depart for Moirang. You pass through various tiny villages and towns as you travel for more than an hour. The dry months from the end of October to the end of March are the ideal time to visit Thanga. It should be noted that the area is submerged in severe rain during the monsoon season, which can make getting around difficult.

It's not difficult to go around Thanga. To explore the area, choose between walking, cycling, or boarding one of the many shared cars. Getting around is pretty practical, and there are no major hassles involved. With the help of our Thanga travel guide, you can plan your trip easily. 

The only restaurants that serve Manipuri fish curry with rice and chicken are a few tiny dhabas. Dal, mixed vegetables, and a few regional potato recipes are all vegetarian options. The family provides all three daily meals and evening tea if you want to stay in a homestay.

A conventional luxury traveler will find Thanga to be a living nightmare, while adventurous travelers would find the fishing village to be a paradise. A few days should be plenty to explore the area fully. But you'll need at least three to four days overall if you really want to take everything in. Soak in all the beauty of this tiny village with the Thanga travel guide.
