About Dumboor Lake

Tripura

Overview

Dumboor Lake is a wide reservoir in south Tripura, scattered with dozens of green islets and framed by low hills. Boat rides to Narkel Kunja, winter birdwatching, and the Tirthamukh fair on the Gomati shoreline draw travelers who want water and forest time away from Agartala's pace.
