Loktak Lake located in the state of Manipur is the largest freshwater lake in northeast India. It is also called the only floating lake in the world due to the floating phumdis.
Phumdis are a mass of vegetation, soil and other organic matter that accumulate over a period of time that resemble a landmass that float freely in the lake.
The largest floating island covers an area of 40 sq. km. and constitutes the world's largest floating park, Keibul Lamjao National Park.
