Moirang
Half a day is enough for Moirang: see the INA Museum and Ebudhou Thangjing Temple, then head to Keibul Lamjao National Park or Sendra island.
Moirang is a small town in Manipur's Imphal Valley, best known for the INA Museum (the only WWII museum in the state) and the annual Lai Haraoba festival at Ebudhou Thangjing Temple in May. Most visitors stop here on the way to Keibul Lamjao National Park or the floating lake at Sendra. A half-day covers the town; the national park needs another half-day.
