Henglep[a] is a village in the Churachandpur district in the Manipur state of India, populated by about a thousand Kuki-Zo people.

It combines with a south-flowing headstream called "Thingbong" a short distance to the north of Henglep, to form the Leimatak River.

The Manipur ruler Ching-Thang Khomba (Bhagyachandra or Jai Singh) had a temporary royal residence built here while waging war on the Khongjai hills to the west of Henglep.

[3][4] According to scholar Saroj Nalini Parratt, the king's court in the Kangla Fort was also named "Kuchu", possibly as a remembrance of this victory.

[9] In early 1917, the local chiefs met at Ukha and Henglep to discuss the emerging conflict with the British authorities.

[14] Eventually the rebellion was suppressed only by wholesale destruction of villages, including their livestock and foodgrains, driving the people into the woods to starve, along with women and children.

[15] After the Rebellion, the British reorganised their hill administration by establishing a new headquarters for the South-West Subdivision at Songpi (then called "Churachandpur").
