Summer (March to June)


The summer season in Tripura can be quite warm, with temperatures soaring up to 35°C. However, this is also the time when the state’s cultural scene comes alive. If you can brave the heat, March to June offers a unique opportunity to witness Tripura's vibrant festivals and local traditions. Garia Puja, celebrated in April, is one of the most significant festivals for Tripura's tribal communities. This vibrant celebration features traditional music, dance, and rituals, offering a rich glimpse into the state’s indigenous culture. Visiting during this time gives you the chance to experience Tripura at its most authentic.

Monsoon (July to September)


Monsoon in Tripura, from July to September, brings heavy rainfall, but it’s also when nature is at its peak beauty. The region becomes a verdant paradise, with rivers swelling and waterfalls bursting into life. The monsoon is the best time to visit Dumboor Lake, a serene spot surrounded by small islands.

It’s also a great time for a quiet boat ride, where you can soak in the tranquillity of the surroundings.
