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.
