The site is a small hillock about 17 Kms south of Imphal City on Tiddim Road (NH-150). A fierce battle was fought at the site between the Allied Forces and the Japanese Forces during World War II.

There is a cemetery in the foothills, which houses the tombs of the Japanese soldiers who died in the war.[2][3]
