Moreh lies on the Indo-Myanmar border in Tengnoupal district, serving as a vital trade and transit point under the India–Myanmar Friendship Agreement. The town offers a unique glimpse into borderland life, where Meitei, Kuki, and Burmese cultures coexist. Visitors can cross into Myanmar’s Namphalong Market (with valid documents) to explore Burmese products, food, and crafts. The surroundings are scenic with the green hills of the Chandel region. Despite being remote, Moreh plays an important role in India’s Act East Policy and attracts those curious about international borders, trade, and cultural diversity.
