Twobirdsbreakingfree's video: Dreamy Loktak Lake Keibul Lamjao National Park Manipur Northeast India

Loktak lake is northeast India's largest freshwater lake and is especially renowned for its phumdis or floating islands composed of biomass (vegetation, soil and other organic matter). Most of the clips in the video are from the morning that we hired a boatman to take us out on the lake in a traditional, hand-paddled fishing boat. The nearby Keibul Lamjao National Park can also be visited as part of a trip to Loktak lake. This is the world's only floating national park and is home to the endemic and endangered sangai or dancing deer (Cervus eldii eldii), a subspecies of the brow-antlered deer. We also have a few clips towards the end of the video of a short boat ride that we took (courtesy of a park employee) along a narrow, vegetation-lined canal in the national park at sunset. We had the opportunity to step off the boat onto the floating biomass at one point and the ground was very spongy and springy, confirming that it is indeed a floating national park! At the very end of the video we show a few clips from our experience climbing a hill near our homestay to get the lie of the land. There's a breathaking view of the lake and the phumdis from up here, as you will surely see if you watch the video until the end.
