Manipur
is a state in northeastern
India, making its capital in the
city of Imphal. Manipur is
bounded by the Indian states of
Nagaland to the north, Mizoram
to the south and Assam to the
west; it also borders the
country of Myanmar to the east.
The Meiteis, who live primarily
in the state's valley region,
are one of the primary ethnic
groups. Their language,
Meiteilon (also known as
Manipuri), is also the lingua
franca in the state, and was
recognized as one of India's
national languages in 1992. The
Kukis and Nagas live in the
hills of the state. Manipur is
considered a sensitive border
state. Foreigners entering
Manipur (including foreign
citizens born in Manipur) must
possess a Restricted Area
Permit, which can be obtained
from the Foreigners’ Regional
Registration Office in the
"metros" (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata)
or certain other state
government offices. Permits are
valid for only 10 days, and
visitors must travel only on
tours arranged by authorised
travel agents, in groups of
four. Furthermore, they may come
to Imphal only by air and are
not permitted to travel outside
the capital.
