Red Hill Lokpaching Tourism

Type of destination: Historical Landmark

Closed in: Open all year

Red Hill Lokpaching, situated near Imphal, the capital city of Manipur, India, is a historically significant site. It bears a poignant record of the fierce battle that took place between the British and the Japanese forces during World War II, specifically in the area around Imphal and Kohima in 1944. Known as the Battle of Imphal, it was part of the larger Burma Campaign. This somber hill is marked by the Red Hill Memorial, also known as the India Peace Memorial built by the Japanese to commemorate their fallen soldiers. The site is a testimony to the brutal conflict and plays a role in reconciliation, with many Japanese veterans and their relatives visiting it to pay respects. The terrain is hilly and covered with lush greenery, providing a serene environment that belies its tumultuous past. The area surrounding Red Hill offers picturesque views of the Manipur landscape, and the memorial itself is a stark reminder of the costs of war.

A humbling experience.

One of the forgotten place of the Indian Military history. But, an important land mark of the WW-II. Needs better upkeep and bit of publicity too.
