Things to do in Tripura
Adventure, culture, and unforgettable experiences await you in Tripura.
Neermahal Water Palace
Neermahal (Water Palace) is a summer palace of the Tripura kings, built in the middle of Rudrasagar Lake. It is one of only two water palaces in India (the other being in Udaipur).
The architecture is a blend of Hindu and Islamic styles. Approaching the white palace by boat, especially at sunset when it is illuminated, is a royal experience.
Unakoti Rock Carvings
Unakoti means 'one less than a crore'. It is an open-air art gallery deep in the forest featuring massive bas-relief carvings of Shiva and other deities on the rock face.
The central Shiva head (Unakotiswara Kal Bhairava) is 30 feet tall. Dating back to the 7th-9th centuries, its origin is shrouded in mystery and legend. It is often called the Angkor Wat of the Northeast.
Walking among these colossal faces covered in moss is eerie and wonderful.
Ujjayanta Palace Museum
The royal palace of Agartala, now a state museum. The gleaming white building with its Mughal gardens is magnificent.
The museum showcases the lifestyle of the Manikya dynasty and the culture of Northeast tribes. It is the cultural heart of Agartala.
