110 kms. from Imphal, Manipur. This International border town is located on the Indo-Myanmar Road, a commercial town attracting a large number of people from neighbouring places. It is only 5 km away from Tamu, its Myanmar counterpart. The recent opening of the Border trade turned Moreh into an important commercial hub in North-East. Right on the other side of the border, at Namphanglong, there is a big Myanmarese shopping complex selling all kinds of Thai and Chinese consumer goods.
The super-market can serve as a poor man`s alternative to Bangkok`s National Stadium shopping Arcade. Things come much cheaper there. Conducted Tours are organised from Moreh in Manipur to Myanmarese towns like Kalimiew and Mandlay. Such a tour is one of the rare opportunities in which the Rupee can flex its muscles 10 times against the foreign currency.
