Imphal Valley

Imphal Valley (/ˈɪmpɑːl/; Meitei: Imphal Tampak) or Manipur Valley (Meitei: Manipur Tampaak) is located in the Indian state of Manipur and is an irregular almost oval shaped canyon that was formed as a result of the multiple small rivers that originate from neighbouring hill regions surrounding the valley and flow through it.

The Imphal valley is located in almost the centre of the state of Manipur and is surrounded by hills on all sides.

Many geologists have suggested that the Imphal valley is actually a lacustrine plain formed by siltation of an ancient lake.

The valley region is mainly populated by the Meitei people (also known as the Manipuris).

[4] The climate is temperate in the valley but comparatively cold in the hilly regions of Manipur.
