Moreh in October
Manipur, India
Go in October — weather is dry and warm (22–30°C), markets are fully stocked post-monsoon, but anticipate higher prices during festival season.
Peak crowds
October 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.
October revives Moreh's bazaar to full volume — fresh stock, dry roads, and festive buying energy.
The October story
The border market is at its best: full inventory, cooler air, and traders happy to see customers again.
