Why February here
A national park that floats on phumdis, home of the dancing Sangai deer; birding peaks November to March.
Keibul Lamjao, on the edge of Loktak, is described by Manipur Tourism as the world’s only floating national park: the entire park sits on drifting vegetation, and its celebrity resident is the brow-antlered Sangai deer, which dances delicately across the floating mats.
