About this place
Tonglon, near Tuibuong in Churachandpur, is one of the longest cave systems in Manipur, with large chambers and passages that have never been fully surveyed. It is a local guide's trip rather than a managed site, and the reward is a cave almost nobody else has been inside.
How to reach
About 65 km from Imphal via Churachandpur; arrange a guide in Churachandpur town for the final approach.
Local tips
- Never enter without a local guide and two independent light sources.
- Check the current advisory for Churachandpur district before planning.
- Wear clothes you are willing to ruin: the floor is wet clay.
