capital of the Indian state of Manipur
About Imphal
With an average elevation of nearly 800 m, Imphal has a cooler and more pleasant climate than most places of India. It can drop below freezing in the winter. The summers are much wetter and more humid with the monsoon rains at their peak in June and July. October is an ideal time to visit as the rains turn the whole town a lush green. Some tourists pass straight through but it's worth staying a day, if only to see Kangla fort, buy supplies and recover from long bus rides. In 2013, the British National Army Museum voted theBattle of Imphaland theBattle of Kohimatogether to be"Britain's Greatest Battle"or"UK's Greatest Battle".
