Yangoupokpi-Lokchao Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife refuge in Chandel district, India.

The Yangoupokpi-Lokchao Wildlife Sanctuary extends over 185 square kilometers of diverse terrain, providing habitats for 42 mammal species and 74 bird species.

The Government of Manipur designated this protected area in 1989 to safeguard the region's biodiversity at the intersection of Indian and Myanmar territories.

Seven forest villages within the sanctuary maintain traditional practices while depending on natural resources for their daily sustenance and activities.

The sanctuary remains accessible from October through April, with morning hours offering the best opportunities for wildlife observation and photography sessions.

The sanctuary houses the only ape species found in India, the Hoolock gibbon, alongside migrating elephants that cross the Indo-Myanmar border seasonally.
