My travelogue: October 11, 2017
My friend from Shillong Ms Nurara Hazarika and Anita Teckchandani arrived at Imphal Tulihal airpot  around 12 noon and about 30 minutes interval between them. Gojen and I took pass to go inside and wait for them till both arrive and get their luggage. Even though it was hot that day since we could stay inside it was pleasurable experience.

As Anita arrived earlier we had to wait for Mrs Hazarika to arrive and she could come out about 30 minutes later. we finally could come out with their luggage. it was indeed a nice get together after about 7 years with Nurara and one year with  Anita. It was no doubt a memorable encounter for three of us. We really enjoyed stay together at Hotel Imphal after staying one night at Irabanta's fith floor. After sightseeing it was going to be a difficult climb for both of them and hence decided to book a room for three of us with extra bed.


First day we just drove around Imphal town and next day we headed for Loktak Lake at Moirang.
October 12, 2017. On the way to Moirang we stopped at the India Peace Memorial. Then drove toward Khuga Dam at Churachandpur a town.later after Churachandpur visited the INA museum  then headed toward Sendra and for boating at Loktak lake.

 we tried typical manipuri food at Luxmi kitchen where Nurara liked it a lot but for Anita it didn't appeal her much. they tried chakhao kheer and fish cake/nga paknum.
My friends gold some gold earring for her grand kid for remembrance. she also got things for her use at home business.  Anita got a gift of blanket from Irabanta.and an umbrella for Nurara.
