The Story

About Agartala

Home to the Manikya Kings in the past, Agartala is the capital of Tripura — a perfect mix of natural beauty and diverse, rich culture. The most developed city in the state, it still maintains the best of both worlds — urban amenities with small-town charm. Agartala has cultural richness with the diversity of people and their shared heritage. The Ujjayanta PalaceUjjayanta Palace, a magnificent white Mughal-style palace with tiled floors, carved doors, and throne rooms set in sprawling gardens, is the main attraction. NeermahalNeermahal, India's only water palace, sits dramatically in the middle of Rudrasagar Lake about 50 km away. The Tripura Sundari Temple, one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, draws Hindu pilgrims. The Heritage Park, Rose Valley Amusement Park, and the vibrant tribal markets showcasing Tripura's 19 indigenous communities add unique experiences. Agartala's cuisine — with bamboo shoot curries and Mui Borok tribal dishes — is distinctly Northeast Indian.
