Loktak Lake is not only the largest freshwater lake in northeast India but is also home to unique floating islands called “Phumdis”. These circular landmasses are made of vegetation, soil, and organic matter (at different stages of decomposition) that have been thickened into a solid form. Most of the mass of Phumdis lies below the water surface. The thickness of these floating islands varies from a few centimeters to around two meters. During the dry season, when water levels drop, the living roots of the Phumdis can reach the lake-bed and absorb nutrients. When the wet season returns, they again float, and the biomass, which has enough nutrients stored in the plants' roots, survives.   The largest mass of Phumdis are in the southern part of Loktak lake and the area has been notified as Keibul Lamjao National Park.  Phumdis are habitat of over 83 species of plants.
