Saikul is on the bank of the Iril River (also called Jildung River), at 790 meters above sea level. It is 40 kilometres north of Imphal, and lies between the national highways NH-39 and NH-150.
By the 2011 census, Saikul has a population of 2,767 people, almost all of whom belong to Scheduled Tribes.[1]
Saikul was set up as the headquarters of the Sadar Hills subdivision, when the "Manipur North" district was first defined in 1969. By 1981, the subdivision was divided into two: Sadar Hills East, headquartered at Saikul, and Sadar Hills West, headquartered at Kangpokpi.[4]
In 2016, the Sadar Hills subdivisions were spawned off as the separate district of Kangpokpi
