Brief About Tamenglong District
Profile
The northeastern block of India comprises of seven states, popularly
known as seven sisters. Manipur is one of the states, which has
been covered with fame and is known in every corner of the globe
for its pure and rich cultural heritage also for Sports. Out of
the state's eight districts, Tamenglong is located along the western
boundary of the state.
Tamenglong is entirely composed of hills, ranges
and narrow valleys. The hilltops and valley sides are dotted with
small hamlets, located at strategic points.
The land was believed to have been formed due
to orogenic movement during cretaceous and Eocene period. The main
rock formations are sandstone, shale, schist. Due to weak and fragile
nature of rocks and high gradient of the hill slopes, landslide
is a common phenomenon in the whole district in rainy season.

From Imphal (State Capital) three buses depart at 6.00 am weekdays
(except Sunday) to reach Tamenglong the same afternoon.
