About Jampui Hills

Tripura

Overview

Jampui Hills is Tripura's highest ridge, a cool Mizo highland of orange orchards, orchid-rich forests, and village stays around Vanghmun. Travelers come for Betlingchhip sunrise views toward Mizoram and Bangladesh, quiet walks through citrus gardens, and the Orange Festival in late autumn.
