Tripura

A small northeastern Indian state, with a water palace in a lake, a royal palace and giant rock carvings on a hillside.

Tripura lies in northeastern India, bordered by Bangladesh on three sides, and is mostly hills and forest. The capital, Agartala, has the white Ujjayanta Palace, once a royal residence and now a museum; the Neermahal water palace in Rudrasagar Lake blends Hindu and Islamic architectural styles; and Unakoti is famed for its giant rock-cut deity figures on a hillside. The state sees few tourists, its people are unpretentious, and its tribal cultures are diverse. The best season is October to March, and Agartala Airport has flights to Kolkata, Guwahati and other places.
