Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from Imphal, the capital city of Manipur. Take NH37 towards Tamenglong. The distance is approximately 80 kilometers and the drive should take around 2-3 hours depending on traffic and road conditions. As you approach Tamenglong, look for the sign pointing to 'Zeilad Lake'. The lake is located about 12 kilometers from the town center. Follow the local roads, which may be narrow and winding, until you reach the lake. Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel as there are limited petrol stations along the route.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from Imphal to Tamenglong. Buses leave from the Imphal bus station and the journey takes approximately 3-4 hours. Once you arrive in Tamenglong, you can hire a local taxi or auto-rickshaw to take you to Zeilad Lake. The taxi fare for the 12-kilometer stretch should be around ₹300-₹500, depending on your negotiation skills and the type of vehicle you choose.

• Local Transportation

  Once you are in Tamenglong, you may find that local transportation options include shared taxis or auto-rickshaws. To get to Zeilad Lake, you can ask locals for the best transport option available as it may vary from day to day. If you choose to walk, be prepared for roughly a 3-hour trek along local paths, so wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.
