Visiting Tripura is indeed a great experience as there are quite a few exciting things to do in Tripura. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

Explore the Ujjayanta Palace: This royal palace was built in 1901 and was named so by Rabindranath Tagore, who was a regular visitor of Tripura. The tiled floors, magnificent doors, and curved ceilings are beautiful and would delight anyone who visits the palace. One can see the public halls, durbar hall, throne room, the reception hall, and library at this palace. Used as a meeting place by the Tripura Legislative Assembly till 2011, now the palace is a museum that is exciting to visit. There are several Hindu temples in the palace that occupy 28 hectares of land. The greenery and lake around the palace add to the serenity one feels on visiting here. Visiting this place is not only exciting but also convenient as it is situated at the center of Agartala.

Spot various species of wildlife at Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary: This sanctuary is home to over 150 species of residential and migratory birds. It has beautiful orchid gardens, lakes on which people can enjoy boat rides, and botanical gardens with myriad species of plants and zoological gardens. Elephant joy rides and exploration of the coffee and rubber plantations add to the delight of children and adults alike. The famous spectacled monkey, which is a rare species now, is a favourite among animal lovers and tourists. The sanctuary also has an academic and research center and is one of the best places to visit in Tripura.

Savour a tryst with nature at Jampui Hills: Known as the eternal hills of spring, the Jampui Hills are one of the major attractions of Tripura. The climate here is pleasant throughout the year and tourists take pleasure in visiting here. The lush greenery of the hills, clouds which appear to shroud the trees one moment and shy away the next, and a variety of orchids are a real treat to the eyes. Tea plantations and orange trees grow on the slopes from where a view of the valleys below refreshes and enrapture the mind to no end. A walk along the quiet hilly lanes or a car ride to explore the various tourist spots here provide one with an experience they can never forget.
