Located at a distance of 40 kilometres from Manipur's capital Imphal, Loktak Lake, with a catchment of 1,040 square kilometres, is the only ‘floating lake’ in the world, containing Phumdis which are actually islets consisting of a heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil, and organic matters at various stages of decomposition – on its surface.Loktak Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Northeast India.
