Waithou Lake

Some 20 km from Imphal city, Waithou Lake is a perennial lake in the district of Thoubal. Waithou Lake is an oval-shaped lagoon located on the Indo-Myanmar Road. Besides, the water of the lake comes down from the Ningthibi canal which serves as the water source of Waithou Lake. Once this beautiful lake in Thoubal was a prominent home of numerous species of fish including the Ngaton. But after the establishment of Cheksabi Barrage and ring band, several fish species just died out from the lake’s water.

Moreover, presently, Waithou Lake serves as one of the major tourist attractions of the Thoubal district, and therefore, the place remains thronged with large packs of tourists throughout the year. Just sitting on the lakeside with your feet dangling in the surreal water of the lake and relishing the pristine natural beauty of the surroundings is one of the blissful things to do at Waithou Lake. With its mesmerizing environment, the lake proffers an enchanting sight where you get to see the pineapple slopes, sprawling in wide expanses, drifting down into the lake. Along with that, Waithou Lake is also an ideal destination for picnicking in Thoubal.

Both recreation and entertainment can be relished at Waithou Lake. Along with the surrounding natural beauty which includes the pineapple gardens, the lake also is known for boating, angling, and food stalls. On the whole, Waithou Lake is one of those day hideouts in Thoubal that can surely give you some quality time with your family.
