1. MALDIVES COMPRISES OF ALMOST MORE THAN A THOUSAND SMALL
   ISLANDS:
   With an individual collection of 1190 islands extending across the Indian Ocean,
   Maldives consists of some islands so small that they are barely noticeable on the
   google map while others are barely more than a strip of sand protruding out of water with not more than one resort or hotel on them. The island of Male is the most populous island in Maldives.
2. SOME MALDIVE ISLANDS ARE MAN- MADE:
   Although it is believed that most Maldive islands are formed by Volcanoes, some
   islands are man made. For example, the island nearest to the main airport,
   Hulhumale Island, is an artificial island made in 2004 by dumping heaps of concrete and sand to form a foundation and now looks like a full- fledged town.
3. THE BIOLUMINESCENT BEACHES OF MALDIVES:
   Stumbling across a bioluminescent stretch of sea is one of the rarest treats and the most blissful experience that Maldives renders. Seeing bioluminescent phytoplankton light up the oceans and make them reliably glow is rather exciting and can be spotted in the Dusit Thani Maldives in Baa Atoll where the resort’s beach comes alive from the light at night, emitting a starry sight amidst the dark waves.
4. WITH A 100 PERCENT ISLAMIC POPULATION, THERE ARE CUSTOMS TO BE
   CONSIDERED:
   Although it is unlikely for foreign travellers to witness infringements upon vacationing freedom, one must know that Maldives is the only other country in the world with a 100 percent muslim population. And to avoid any hassle, it is well suited to leave alcohol, pork based products, tobacco products without a health warning and any religious book like The Bible behind at home. Other than that, public display of affection, bathing suits, and alcohol drinking in the city is strictly prohibited. Even though resorts in the Maldives have their own vacation – friendly rules, the hotel strictly abide by these conventional islamic rules which also includes proper modest dressing for women and barrs homosexuality. So, if you are a budget traveller, you most likely have to abide by these cultural prohibitions in the populous regions of the Maldives.

5. THE BEST TIME TO VISIT MALDIVES:
   November to April is the ideal time for you to plan your trip to Maldives, even though
   temperatures remain stable all year round. So to get your fair share of the tropical
   sun, you must visit before the southwest monsoon roughly coincides, making the
   weather rather dry and windy.

Standing tall in all its glittering glory, this temple is adorned with a man- made lake which is brimming with fishes. Apart from the magnificence of the Golden Temple, it houses the largest running community kitchen in the world, popularly known as Guru ka Langar which is open to people from all castes, colour, creed, gender and religion. Free meals are served to thousands of people everyday in the community hall of the Gurdwara.

The Gurdwara has entry gates open to all sides denoting the virtue of Sikhism which
preaches that everyone entering the premises of the Golden Temple will be treated with equal respect without any basis of discrimination for anyone and everyone. The Langar of the Golden Temple is mostly run and serviced by volunteers by their own free will to be a part of the Sewa. They help in preparing for the meals by chopping vegetables, even cook the meals ranging from rotis to desserts and sometimes even serve the entire crowd eating at the Langar. They keep the kitchen up and running for 24 hours of the day so that anyone who comes to the Langar does not have to go back empty stomach. Here, on normal days, almost 50000 to 60000 eat at the Langar and the numbers go up to 100000 during religious gatherings. Although most meals are handmade, Gurdwara has a roti making machine with the ability to make 25000 rotis per hour to feed passers by, pilgrims and visitors. The astounding sizes of the vessels used to cook the meals holds quintals of quantities, all of which is procured from a steady flow of donations for the Golden Temple. It has 2 community halls where people have to sit on the floor and wait for the Langar to be served.

After the volunteers finish serving the food, a clarion call of ‘Jo bole so nihal’ is yelled, to
which the crowd yells back ‘Sat Sri Akal’. You can eat your heart out in the Langar of the
Golden Temple, for extra rotis or accompaniments all you have to do is raise your hand in gratitude while the volunteers come and refill your place with the scrumptious meals of the Langar.

There are so many delightful lakes in Manipur that it is hard to pick which to visit first. Here are the lakes you should consider if you’re ever visiting Manipur!

Loktak Lake

Loktak Lake is the biggest freshwater lake in northeast India.

The Meitei people consider this lake as a holy symbol of their faith.

In Manipuri dance drama and poetry, the glory of Lake Loktak is often referred to as one that reflects the soul of Manipur. The floating biomass on Loktak Lake is known locally as Phumdi. It plays an important role in Manipur’s economy and its biodiversity.

Loktak Lake has so much to offer that you might need more than one visit to experience everything it has to offer.

The lake is known for its fishing activities and boat rides, which are a must-do. Another attraction here is Sendra Island, where you can find the world’s only floating national park – Keibul Lamjao National Park. One reason why this place has become so popular is because it was featured in a famous Bollywood movie – Mary Kom.

The pristine Loktak Lake is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Manipur and also one of the largest freshwater lakes in the entire world. Known for its floating circular swamps, which are called phumdis in the local tongue. The lake has provided these people with food, water, occupation, shelter and above all sustenance. The Manipur lake is home to local fishermen and other folks alike.

Tourists can book a homestay along the lake to get a first-hand experience of life by the lake. The best way to explore the lake is by boating in long fishing boats in the early hours of the morning. You can also visit the fishermen islands in the vicinity, and indulge in some angling. It is a zone of great biodiversity but unfortunately increased pressure by humans has led to a severe depletion of the resources of the lake which is taking its toll on the flora and fauna in the area. Loktak also houses the world’s only floating national park. To get splendid views of sunset, hike to any of the hills overlooking the lake, and gaze in awe as the burning orb of the sun slides down the horizon, painting the sky in myriad hues of red and gold. You can also attend a local function that is underway.

Waithou Lake

Waithou Lake is a peaceful retreat from the chaotic city of Imphal.

Pumlen Lake

Pumlen Lake is hidden away in the hills of Manipur with shallow blue water that looks like the moon’s surface.

It is a good place to see what’s left of a natural landscape: a large forested area backed by hills covered with grass and trees and dotted with ponds. The Loktak Project has already started to grab its land on a large scale by creating a huge canal cutting through it. As a result, Pumlen Lake has been shrinking day by day. The water level has fallen so much that the locals are forced to take their children out of school and join job-hunting drives along the canal to keep them from drowning in the fast-flowing water.
