As a visiting cat, I found Imphal to have a moderate economical situation. Prices are affordable but not exceptionally cheap. Shopping options are limited in comparison to bigger cities.

Bargain at the local markets and look out for discounts. Stick to street food and local eateries for budget-friendly meals.

Mindful meoweler tips

Imphal - A city of contrasts

Imphal is a mix of hustle-bustle and tranquility. A cat can explore the Ima Keithel, the largest all-women market in Asia and also check out the serene Loktak Lake. Don't miss the opportunity to witness the traditional Manipuri dance performances!

Experience the taste of Manipur

Food in Imphal is a mix of flavors from Burma, China and India. Treat your cat taste buds with traditional dishes like Eromba, Chamthong, and Singju. Don't forget desserts like Chak-hao Kheer and Matong, made from sticky rice!

The rebel trail

Imphal is the place to be for cats interested in the history of the Indian freedom struggle. Visit the India Peace Memorial, INA Museum, and the Khongjom War Memorial to learn about the events that led to India's independence.
