Yaingangpokpi Lokchao Wildlife Sanctuary

Yaingangpokpi Lokchao Wildlife Sanctuary protects a stretch of forest in eastern Manipur near the Myanmar border, home to a range of regional wildlife within terrain that remains relatively undisturbed given the area's remoteness. The sanctuary's position close to the international border gives it additional ecological significance as part of a broader, cross-border forest landscape shared with neighbouring Myanmar.

Visitor infrastructure within the sanctuary remains limited, reflecting its status as one of Manipur's less-developed protected areas, appealing primarily to those with a specific interest in the state's more remote conservation landscapes rather than casual wildlife tourism.

Established to protect forest habitat in this remote eastern stretch of Manipur, the sanctuary's position near the international border has historically limited both development and detailed ecological documentation compared to more accessible protected areas elsewhere in the state.

In eastern Manipur, requiring a multi-hour road journey from Imphal with local guidance recommended.
