Geography & terrain

Shirui Kashong NP lies in the Ukhrul district of Manipur at about 2,800 m, 90 km from Imphal and 20 km from Ukhrul — the lily park of the region, its Shirui peak, the endemic flowers and the sunrise set on the Manipur hills.

History & culture

The park's story runs with the 1989 notification era — the lily park of the Shirui peak and the 1989-era notification of the Manipur forest service, with the park's modern role as the treks stop of the Ukhrul circuit and the home of the Shirui lily and the 1989-era park and the sunrise decks; the park's history of the 2000s-era festivals and the bird corners, gives Shirui Kashong its lily character.
