Скачать или смотреть Phumdi islands float on Loktak Lake in Manipur: aerial view

Phumdis are a series of floating islands, exclusive to the Loktak Lake in Manipur state, in northeastern India. They cover a substantial part of the lake area and are heterogeneous masses of vegetation, soil and organic matter, in different stages of decay.

The largest single mass of phumdi is in the southeastern part of the lake, covering an area of 40 km2 (15.4 sq mi). This mass constitutes the world’s largest floating park, named Keibul Lamjao National Park. The park was formed to preserve the endangered Eld's deer subspecies, called sangai in the Manipuri language, indigenous to this area

Loktak Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Northeast India. It is located in the state of Manipur. Loktak Lake is known as the only floating lake in the world due to the floating phoomdis on it. It has an area of 300sq km and has been recognised as Ramsar site in 1990.

The lake is referred to as the “lifeline of Manipur” because the lake is highly productive and many lives depend on the lake for endurance. The lake is also an Important Bird Area as it’s a potential breeding site for waterfowl and is a staging site for migratory birds. There are varied types of habitat supported by lake due to which the lake is blessed with rich diversity flora and fauna.
