Shirui National Park, National park in Ukhrul district, Manipur, India

Shirui National Park covers 184.4 km² in Ukhrul district, Manipur, with dense tropical forest on its lower slopes and temperate forest on the hilltops. Its highest point, Shirui Kashong Peak, rises to 2,835 m above sea level, and several rivers originate from its slopes and fissures.

The Indian government established this protected area in 1982 to safeguard the local ecosystem and the indigenous Shirui lily species. This action marked the beginning of formal protection for an extremely rare flower found nowhere else on Earth.

The Shirui lily, Lilium mackliniae, was named after Frank Kingdon-Ward's wife, Jean Macklin, who accompanied his 1946 expedition to the Shirui Kashong peak near Ukhrul. The flower blooms on the hilltop in May and June, drawing scientists and tourists each year, and it serves as the state flower of Manipur.

The period from November to March offers the best conditions for visiting and observing wildlife in their natural habitat. Access to the park is easiest through Ukhrul town, which serves as the gateway to the protected area.

The park contains the only natural habitat of the Shirui lily, a flower that grows exclusively in this region and nowhere else in the world. This rare species now serves as the state flower of Manipur, making it a living symbol of the region's botanical heritage.
