Dumboor

The great lake of Dumboor, surrounded by verdant hills, is a popular picnic spot. There are 48 islands dotting the lake, which is home to variety of birds of all shapes and colours. During the migratory period the lake becomes a hive of hectic activity. You can also take a boat ride around this pretty lake.

Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary

The vast colony of residential and migratory birds makes Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary a lively attraction for birdwatchers. Just 30 km away from Agartala, it covers an area of 18.53 sq. km. In addition to this its orchid garden and botanical garden unfailingly lure visitors who come to enjoy a spin around the lake. It offers spectacular views of surrounding coffee and rubber plantations. There are a few tourist cottages in the sanctuary.

Trishna Wildlife Sanctuary

The bison, and residential as well as migratory bird populations are the major attraction for visitors at the Trishna Wildlife Sanctuary, situated about 100 km from Agartala.

Jampui Hills

The entrancing verdure of the Jampui Hills (the premiere hill range of the six in Tripura) is enhanced by the equable climatic conditions giving visitors reason enough to call them "the seat of permanent spring". Clamber up those gentle heights to enjoy panoramas tinged by spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Jampui is home to some very exotic species of orchids, ornamental trees and fragrant orange groves. The abundance of oranges has, in fact, given wing to the Orange Festival held in November when they surrounding hills are heavy with the fruit and a riot of colour. The cobweb of picturesque trekking trails, punctuated by friendly brooks and serene lakes, along the Jampui Hills are a treat for the outdoor enthusiast.

Village tours are becoming increasingly popular, as the Lushai and Reang (of Mizo stock) community here is welcoming and hospitable. It's magical in the monsoon too. Especially when the gentle mists lifts intermittently to reveal pretty vignettes of neighbouring Mizoram.

Water sports facilities are available around Sabual village. From Betalongchip point you get great views of Aizawal, the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the Kanchanpur-Dasda Valley on clear days. Agartala is about 250 km away.
