Agartala

Agartala is the capital of Tripura, located at just 12 meters above sea level, and one of the key centers of tourism in North-East India. It is the second-most populous city in the region, shaped by a blend of Bengali and tribal (Tripuri, Reang) cultures. The city’s standout landmark is Ujjayanta Palace, the former royal residence now housing the Tripura State Museum. Built in a Mughal-European hybrid style, the palace sits within a 28-hectare complex featuring Italian gardens and four grand halls, making it one of the top attractions in Agartala. Beyond the palace, key places to visit in Agartala include Neermahal (about 50 km away), Jagannath Bari Temple, the historic Buddha Temple, and Tripura Sundari Temple, one of the 51 Shakti Peethas. Modern Agartala travel also includes exploring Bengali-influenced cuisine, tribal cultural centers, and attending the Kharchi Puja, a major annual festival dedicated to 14 Tripuri deities.
