'''Keikhu''' (also pronounced keikhoo) are two twin villages in [[India]]. They are located at approximately 25 N 94 E. 2 km ESE of [[Imphal]], capital of the state of [[Manipur]]. The village in the south is inhabited by the [[Kabui]] tribes. The early settlers of the place. The one in the north belongs to a mixed tribe who identifies themselves as "Pangal", a collective term used for Manipuri-Muslims.

The village lies along the famous hill of Manipur, "Baruni". A hill frequented as a ritual by the Hindu majority during the Hindu festival of celebrating Shiva. The two villages are geographically divided by a rivulet and marked distinctly by the dialects they speak.
The Keikhu-Kabuis speaks the Kabui dialect. While the Keikhu-Pangal speaks with an accented Meiteilon.
It is also important to note that the two villages of Keikhu, belongs to under-represented minorities in the state. One belonging to the Schedule tribe (Kabuis) and the other belonging to Schedule caste (Pangals).
Keikhu Kabui Village is noted as one of the first village to be free from open defecation in the constituency in the present decade. However, development in the two villages in terms of proper road connectivity and other essentials are still a soar patched. Lack of employment, lack of higher educational awareness are some of the factors posing as an obstacle to development.
