I took a shared auto back for Moirang and then another one from Moirang to reach Loktak Lake. I had to wait again to share the boat ride. Taking the ride alone was coming out to be a bit much. The same family reached the lake after a few minutes. We bought tickets and went ahead for the ride. Hope either of us would have discussed about the next destination, but travelling locally has its own charm as well.Loktak lake is one of the most serene areas you will ever see. Clear water, clean air, no buildings in sight, no noise and possibly no other human being (apart from people in our boat and the staff). They are a few things I look forward to while taking such rides and Loktak surely made its mark. Kindly don't spoil its serenity.Took the auto back to Moirang. Had lunch and happy to say that I could finally find Indian bread to eat. As the bus was ready to depart for Ima Market, I boarded it and reached the destination in a little more than an hour.
