Introduction
Khayang Peak, one of the higher points in Manipur's northeastern hills, offers trekking opportunities and sweeping views over the surrounding Ukhrul district terrain, appealing to visitors seeking a more physically demanding alternative to the region's more accessible viewpoints. Its relative remoteness, even by the standards of Manipur's already less-visited hill districts, has kept the peak a genuinely quiet destination.
Trekking to Khayang typically requires local guidance given the limited formal infrastructure and signage in this part of the state, rewarding visitors with a genuine sense of remote Northeast Indian highland trekking away from any established tourist circuit. The surrounding forest supports a range of regional flora and fauna, adding ecological interest to what is primarily valued as a trekking and viewpoint destination.
History
As one of the significant peaks in Manipur's northeastern highland range, Khayang has drawn interest primarily from dedicated trekkers seeking the state's less-documented mountain terrain beyond the more established Shirui Hills circuit, though it remains considerably less visited given the additional effort required to reach it.
Best time to visit
October to March.
How to reach
Near Ukhrul, requiring local guidance for the trek.
