Geography & terrain

Tirthamukh lies in the Dhalai district of Tripura at about 200 m, 80 km from Agartala and 20 km from Ambassa — the river-source town of the region, its Gomati spring, the pools and the hills set on the Tripura hills.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the mythic era — the river-source town of the Gomati spring and the 2000s-era tourism of the Dhalai life, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Tripura circuit and the home of the Gomati source and the bathing pools and the 2010s-era decks; the town's history of the 1980s-era roads and the hill walks, gives Tirthamukh its source character.
