Moreh in February
Manipur, India
Go if you want to see India's working border and trade economy in action—February offers dry, clear days and the busiest trading season.
Peak crowds
February is one of Moreh's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Manipur border trade town; Oct–Mar dry season and market activity peak; Jun–Aug monsoon rains and river crossings limit travel.
February keeps Moreh dry and its border market stocked — Burmese goods at Indian prices.
The February story
Thanaka paste, Burmese cheroots, jade jewellery, and electronics flood across the gate. Haggling is the only sport.
