Sugnu (also spelt Sugnoo) is a town at the southern end of the Imphal Valley in Manipur, India.[2] Part of the town is in Kakching district, administered by municipal council, and the other part is in Chandel district under four separate villages. Sugnu is on the bank of the Manipur River, to the east of Churachandpur district and Bishnupur district.
Geography
Its average altitude is 764 metres (2509 feet).
The town is about 74 km from the capital of Manipur, Imphal.
The Manipur River passes through Sugnu and connects to Chakpi River at Serou.
Transportation
Sugnu is connected with the capital city Imphal through the Imphal–Sugnu State Highway, which runs through Thoubal and Kakching. It is also connected by road to the district headquarters Chandel, and the Churachandpur town. There is a bridge over the Manipur River at Sugnu, which permits east–west connectivity.

In the 1956 Gazette notification, Sugnu and Langching were included among the hill villages of the Tengnoupal Subdivision.[3] This might indicate that there were tribal populations living in these villages at that time.
