Santhei Natural Park, Andro
Shanthei Natural Park
A lake-and-woodland park on the edge of the potters' village
About this place
A natural park on the edge of Andro, the Meitei pottery village east of Imphal, with a lake, walking paths and picnic ground. It is the most-visited thing in Andro after the pottery itself and the Mutua Bahadur museum, and it is busy with local families at weekends rather than with outside visitors.
How to reach
Andro village is about 21 km east of Imphal.
Local tips
- Go around 7:30 AM — the lake is still and the park is empty.
- Combine with the Andro pottery workshops and the Mutua Bahadur museum in the same village.
