Host with Discover Manipur
Your home already knows how to welcome people.
A spare room around the courtyard. A kitchen that turns out eromba and singju every evening. A loom in the back shed. A ridge you have walked since you were nine. Travellers come to Manipur for exactly these, and Discover Manipur puts them in front of the families, cooks, guides and weavers who have them.

Why host
Three reasons to list your home here
Free, with no commission
Discover Manipur charges hosts nothing and takes no cut. No money passes through the platform: what a guest pays is between you and the guest.
You keep control
Your rate, your house rules, your guests. The listing carries your family's name and story, not a brand laid over it.
Manipur, told properly
Guests arrive already knowing what eromba is, why the phumdi float and that Ukhrul is four hours away. Fewer surprises for them, fewer arguments for you.
What to expect
You cook, host and guide. Here is what the platform does today.
Hosting is free and run by volunteers. Some of this is live now and some is still being built.
A listing page that explains the place
Once the community verifies your place, it gets its own public page with your description and up to 6 of your own photographs. Write it in Meiteilon, Hindi or English. There is no photographer visit.
Honest verification labels
Every listing shows how well it has been checked, from official records to a single source, so guests know what is confirmed. Guest ID checks are not in place.
Translation, planned
Translating listings and guest messages into your language is on the roadmap but not built yet. Ask on the community Discord if you want help with wording.
No payments to chase
We take no payment and hold no money, so there is no payout to wait for. Questions and problems go to the community Discord.
Earnings
What could a month look like?
Move the sliders to your own price and your own availability. This is an honest estimate, not a promise. Demand in Manipur is seasonal and your costs are your own.
Rooms in Imphal leikais list between ₹900 and ₹2,200 a night.
Most new hosts fill between a quarter and a half of the month in their first season.
What guests would pay you each month
₹14,000
about ₹2L across a full year at this rate
- 10 × ₹1,400
- ₹14,000
- Discover Manipur fee or commission
- ₹0
- Guests pay you directly
- ₹14,000
This is an estimate, not an offer. It assumes you fill the nights you set here and excludes your own costs (food, laundry, electricity, repairs) and any tax you owe. Demand in Manipur is strongly seasonal: November around the Sangai Festival and the Shirui lily season in May run far fuller than the monsoon months.
