Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in North- Eastern India, also called the only Floating lake in the world due to the floating phumdis (heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil, and organic matters at various stages of decomposition) on it. It is located near Moirang in Manipur state, India. There are several ‘phumdis’ floating all over the entire stretch of the lake giving it an amazing perspective. These floating ‘phumdis’ are sturdy enough to build thatched huts upon them and make great settlements for the local fishermen. This lake plays an important role in the economy of Manipur. It is considered to be the lifeline for the people of Manipur.
