Geography & terrain

Tamenglong lies in the Tamenglong district of Manipur at about 1,240 m, 120 km from Imphal and 15 km from the Barak river — the waterfall district of the region, its falls, the caves and the orchids set on the Barak valley.

History & culture

The district's story runs with the 1969 formation era — the waterfall district of the 1969-era formation and the 2000s-era tourism of the Barak life, with the district's modern role as the offbeat stop of the Manipur circuit and the home of the waterfalls and the orchid patches and the cave corners; the district's history of the 2010s-era walks and the Zeme life, gives Tamenglong its waterfall character.
