I eventually found the strength to walk around a bit at Phangrei
After a pretty stiff climb up the hill which had me completely out of steam, I eventually found the strength to walk around a bit at Phangrei, beyond the lake we saw at the very top. There is also a waterfall somewhere around here but we could not spot that. I am an the Sihai Phangrei hill near Ukhrul in Manipur, NE India. This hill joins the Shirui Hills which is famous for the famous Shirui Lily, which is the de facto national flower of Manipur. Imagine a hillside covered in pink. droopy, pale bluish-pink bell-shaped petals (that's how the flowers look), which can only be found in the Shirui Hills in the Ukhrul district of Manipur. The Shirui Lily is Manipur’s state flower. What makes it so special is that it has never been successfully transplanted. Endemic only to this particular region, the Shirui Lily grows only at an elevation of around 1,730- 2,590 mtr above sea level. (Phangrei, near Ukhrul, Manipur, NE India, Jan. 2020)
