Tripura Tourism

Tripura in the northeast of India is a rare combination of natural beauty and man-made wonders, a unique blend of the old order and new, and a fusion of cultures and architectural styles. Many tribes and communities who have made their home in Tripura have lent an incredible mix of culture and customs to this small state. Much of the state of Tripura is forested and hilly, with natural wonders ranging from lakes to wildlife sanctuaries.

Tripura is unlike the other Northeastern states of India with its vast population of Bengalis coexisting with 19 tribes, some of who have come to the state from neighbouring tribal belts. Virtually surrounded by Bangladesh, the state lies south of Meghalaya, and east of Assam and Mizoram.

Tripura is open to tourism but insurgency is still rampant in many areas. Although you won’t encounter trouble in most places of tourist interest, keep an ear to the ground and never forget to ask the local people about the political situation, especially if you are planning to visit the remote areas of the state.
