Why a capsule pod hotel near Loktak Lake works

Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, is a breathtaking natural wonder located in Manipur. Known for its floating phumdis, the lake serves as a vital ecosystem and a source of livelihood for local communities.

The lake attracts around 100,000 visitors each year, particularly during the peak season from October to March.
