Geography & terrain

Dumboor Lake lies in the Gomati district of Tripura, 90 km from Agartala — the multi-armed reservoir of the Raima and Sarma rivers, its 48 islands and the boating waters set in the green country of the state's south.

History & culture

The lake was formed by the damming of the rivers, and the area's story runs with the tribal life of the surrounding villages and the reservoir's modern role as the state's boating destination; the lake's legend of the ancient settlement beneath the waters, with the region's Tripuri culture, gives Dumboor its character of the submerged valley.
