Tripura, State in northeastern India
Tripura is a state in northeastern India that covers a landscape of hills, valleys and forested areas. The terrain consists of several mountain ranges running north to south, with fertile plains and river courses winding through the land between them.
The territory was an independent kingdom ruled by the Manikya dynasty for centuries. Following Indian independence, it first became a union territory before gaining full statehood status later.
Visitors will encounter festivals such as Garia, Ker and Gajan, where locals dance in traditional dress and play indigenous musical instruments. Markets across the territory sell handwoven textiles and bamboo crafts made by artisans using methods passed down through generations.
The capital Agartala serves as a base for exploring the region and has connections to other parts of the country. From there, visitors can reach different districts that offer varying landscapes and communities to experience.
The region contains Neermahal palace, built in the middle of a lake and showing a rare blend of Hindu and Islamic architecture. It also has rock carvings from the 15th and 16th centuries chiseled into natural stone formations.
