Sipahij0la Wildlife Sanctuary:
The place is essentially a forest with a small zoo where animals are kept in cages. This place is more popular as a picnic spot than a wildlife sanctuary. The flora of this reserve is even more fascinating. A lush green forest covered with a variety of trees provides comforting relief for the city dwellers.
The zoo may be small, but there are many different animals, including the native clouded leopard and tarsier langur. Both are endangered and very rare.
Trishna Wildlife Sanctuary:
The reserve is located in the southern part of Tripura and covers an area of about 163.08 square kilometers. It has successfully attracted a variety of birds over the years thanks to its creeks and bodies of water that receive year-round water supply. It also acts as a watering hole for many mammals and reptiles. In primeval forests and green patches you can see bison, white-headed gibbons, capped langurs and more.

Khumulwng Eco Park:
Khumulwng means “Valley of Flowers” in the local language. Therefore, this park has a beautiful and spacious garden, a natural lake with boating facilities for tourists. The spring vibe is breathtaking, full of pollen-seeking butterflies and the surrounding birds chirping, creating a screeching sound that brings pure music to a weary soul. It also has a lovely children’s park to keep the kids free. This picnic spot attracts a lot of tourists as it is only 25 km from the city of Agartala.
However, the most beautiful views of Tripura are not limited to wildlife and parks. The panoramic view of the tea garden all year round adds a different charm to the tourists.
The journey is important, not the destination as the greatest souls say. Discovering the beauty of Tripura might actually help you do just that.
