The tiny state of Tripura is the second smallest in the country. Tripura’s identity was established by a 14th century Indo-Mongolian tribal chieftain named Manikya who adopted Hinduism. The British conquered it in 1808, it became a self-ruling princely state, entered the Indian union in 1956 and was granted statehood in 1972. The main language spoken is Bengali and handloom weaving is the primary industry. More than half of Tripura is forested, which should naturally invite nature loving tourists, but unfortunately it harbours many terrorist groups who periodically battle with the authorities demanding separate homelands.
Present day Agartala, the capital of Tripura, was set-up in 1850 by Maharaja Radha Krishna Kishore Manikya Bahadur. Although Tripura is open to tourists, it is best to check with local authorities about the prevailing security situation.
