Khangkhui Cave

Khangkhui Cave, a limestone cave system near Ukhrul, offers a network of chambers and passages of interest to those exploring the wider Ukhrul district beyond its more famous Shirui Hills and lily attractions. Local legend and tradition surround the cave, and it served a documented practical purpose during the Second World War as a shelter for local villagers during the fighting that swept through this part of Manipur.

The cave's relatively remote location and limited formal infrastructure mean visits typically require local guidance, and its combination of natural geological interest with wartime historical association gives it a layered significance beyond a purely scenic cave visit.

Khangkhui Cave is documented to have sheltered local villagers during the intense fighting of the 1944 Battle of Imphal-Kohima campaign, giving the site a specific wartime historical significance alongside its natural geological formation.
