Agartala

Agartala, the state capital of Tripura, is set amidst vast expanses of tranquil beauty making it an ideal base for exploring the ancient palaces, temples, lakes and wildlife sanctuaries of this erstwhile princely state. But take time off to explore the city’s own charms. Sitting astride great Mughal-inspired gardens, with a pool and gurgling fountains, the Ujjayanta Palace was built by Maharaja Radha Kishore Manikya Bahadur in 1901. Located in the heart of town, its interiors are embellished with magnificent tiled floors, delightfully curved wooden ceiling and beautifully crafted doors. Floodlighting, a recently introduced feature, makes it an eye-catching landmark at night.
