Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a visit to Keibul Lamjao National Park from FSW IB.Road so unique, especially regarding wildlife?

We love that Keibul Lamjao is the world's only floating national park, offering a truly surreal experience on its unique phumdis or floating biomass. The absolute highlight is spotting the elusive Sangai deer, the brow-antlered deer, gracefully navigating this incredible habitat. We recommend an early morning boat safari for the best chances to witness this magnificent creature.

What can we expect from the accommodation at FSW IB.Road itself, and does it offer a good base for exploring?

FSW IB.Road provides a comfortable and practical base for exploring the park, feeling like a quiet retreat after a day of adventure. While not a traditional luxury safari lodge, the rooms are clean and well-appointed, and we appreciate the warm hospitality and local insights from the staff. It offers excellent value for its proximity to such a unique natural wonder.

When is the best time to visit FSW IB.Road and Keibul Lamjao National Park, and are there other activities we should consider?

We recommend visiting between October and March when the weather is cooler and drier, making wildlife spotting easier and boat safaris more comfortable. Beyond the park, we suggest exploring Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, and perhaps visiting a local fishing village to experience the vibrant culture. The sunsets over the lake are sensational.

How do we get to FSW IB.Road and Keibul Lamjao National Park, and what are the transport options once we arrive?

The most convenient way to reach FSW IB.Road is by flying into Imphal International Airport (IMF), from where it's about a 1.5 to 2-hour drive. We recommend arranging a pre-booked taxi or hotel transfer, as local transport can be less reliable. Once there, the hotel can help arrange local jeeps or boats for park excursions.

What kind of dining experience can we expect at FSW IB.Road, and is there an opportunity for local cultural immersion?

At FSW IB.Road, you can expect delicious, freshly prepared Indian cuisine, often featuring local Manipuri specialties which we absolutely love. We encourage guests to try the local fish preparations, a true taste of the region. For cultural immersion, we recommend visiting nearby villages to observe the unique fishing techniques on the phumdis and interact with the local communities.
