Bishnupur Travel Guide

Bishnupur is one of the smallest districts in Manipur, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up in its natural beauty, historical and cultural attractions. A tourist looking to have a peaceful but quality time will find it a great place to be in. It is extremely popular among Japanese tourists, and particularly those that are the descendants of Japanese armed forces. There is a famous Vishnu Temple too, which reminds visitors of its rich past. There is a waterfall, a lake, hills, and a national park, all of which make for some exciting sightseeing and exploration.

While travelling to Bishnupur, you can observe the lifestyle of the people, most of whom are engaged in agriculture, which is their primary source of livelihood. It also celebrates several festivals throughout the year, one of the most famous of which is Lai Haraoba. Celebrated in May, it is dedicated to Lord Thangjing, an ancient deity which predates Hinduism. Planning a visit in April would give you an opportunity to be a part of the Cheiraoba festival.
