Geography & terrain

Amatalla is a forest tract in the hills of Tripura's interior, reachable from the state's main towns by the rural roads of the green country — an offbeat land of dense groves, streams and the ridge tracks that the district's walking routes thread through.

History & culture

The tract's name carries the old mango-country memory of the region, and its forests have served the area's shifting villages and the timber economies of the past; today Amatalla is the quietest face of Tripura's tourism — a place the guidebooks pass, where the walking routes and the village lanes keep the older forest life.
