Geography & terrain
Khoupum lies in the Noney district of Manipur, 60 km from Imphal and 200 km from Dimapur — the valley village of the region's west, its waterfalls, the Khoupum valley and the trails set on the Barak river's country.
History & culture
The valley's story runs with the region's settlement and the border life — the village of the Zeliangrong country on the Manipur–Assam road, with the valley's modern role as the base for the seasonal waterfalls and the trekking of the district; the village's history of the tribal life and the river's crossings, with the valley's green, gives Khoupum its valley-village character.
