Red Hill (Maibam Lokpa Ching)

Red Hill, known locally as Maibam Lokpa Ching, was the site of intense fighting during the 1944 Battle of Imphal, and today hosts a war memorial commemorating the soldiers who died during this critical engagement. The hill's name reflects the intensity of the battle fought here, and the memorial provides a smaller, more locally rooted counterpart to Imphal's larger Commonwealth war cemetery.

As one of several sites across the Imphal valley connected to the pivotal 1944 campaign, Red Hill offers visitors interested in this chapter of Second World War history a specific, tangible battlefield location rather than only the more formal, consolidated cemetery memorials found elsewhere in the city.

Red Hill saw some of the fiercest close-quarters fighting of the entire Imphal campaign in 1944, and the memorial established here specifically commemorates this particular engagement within the broader battle.

About 15km from Imphal, roughly 30 minutes by road.
