Tengnoupal (Meitei pronunciation:/teŋ-nə́u-pəl/[b][1]) is a hill town at the highest point of a road (NH-2) between Imphal and Moreh at the end of northwestern Myanmar; the ASEAN Highway passes through the village.

The village due to its strategic location has seen many battles in the course of history including World War II.

The then Tengnoupal villagers and surrounding villages fought against the Burmese who came to invade the Meitei kingdom of the Imphal Valley; whilst many young warriors of Tengnoupal were killed and taken as hostage to Burma.

In the 19th century, Tengnoupal was the epicentre of Anglo-Kuki War wherein more than 30 personnel of the British force were annihilated under the command of Pu Chomsho Mate, the younger brother of Pu Loikhom Mate, Chief of Tengnoupal.

During World War II the people of Tengnoupal supported the Indian National Army (INA) led by Subhas Chandra Bose.

The INA and the Japanese Army even brought in tanks and other heavy war equipments with the help of the local people led by Pu Sholim Mate and they were about to capture the Imphal Valley.

Knowing the advancement of the INA and the Japanese Army, after occupying strategic locations at Tengnoupal the British Royal Air Force (RAF) bombarded the whole hill rages of Tengnoupal where many INA, Japanese and local volunteers were killed.

Child Sex Ratio for the Tengnoupal as per census is 750, lower than Manipur average of 936.
