Beautiful place. It’s a memorial for the brave warriors who lost their lives in the Anglo Manipuri war. Worth seeing place. You have to buy an entry ticket. One can drive a car to the hill top memorial. Stairway also available. A small artificial lake is near by.
A place of pride and emotions for Manipur. It is a memorial to an important chapter in Manipur's history - the Anglo-Manipur war. From tourism perspective the maintainence needs to be increased.
It's a beautiful architecture commemorating the Indo-Anglo war. It has a big open lawn at the entrance and then you can climb a few stairs to see the war memorial. The view from the top is really beautiful. The monument looks like some kind of a Sci-fi movie pillar/tower. You can see the whole lawn and the surrounding area once you have climbed the stairs. Very good view for pictures especially during the evening.
It's not very far from the Imphal city and the drive going there is beautiful especially during the rainy season as you can enjoy the view of green paddy fields along the way.
At the entrance they have a ticket counter and have parking space available besides the lawn
