    Agartala lies on the bank of Haora River and shares its western border with [wiki=f78a77f631d275aac6a914a17fe1b885]Bangladesh[/wiki]. Unlike the other six capitals of north-eastern states, which are predominantly hilly, Agartala lies on the western end of the great Ganga-Brahmaputra plain of Bangladesh and shares much of its culture, language and cuisine as well with this neighboring nation. Agartala is famous for its temples, palaces, and rich history of the Manikya kings and its connection to Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Agartala is also noted for its bamboo handicrafts, and local hand-woven shawls and textiles. Its close proximity to other places of interest in Tripura (25km from Sipahijala, 55km from Udaipur, 50km from Neer Mahal, 178km from Unakoti) makes Agartala a suitable base for exploring rest of the state.

    • By Plane

      Agartala Airport (IATA: IXA) is located 12km northwest of the city in Singerbhil. The airport is served by most of the major airlines of India from [wiki=9baaebe1759ba1a6365a2b0539081516]Delhi[/wiki], [wiki=8ebaad59980c95ade797c903761fa815]Mumbai[/wiki], [wiki=1bc99cb2f4153c2d0d8025ee5575b2a0]Bangalore[/wiki], [wiki=a6ed05911356fc578c660f121f2ad0de]Ahmedabad[/wiki], [wiki=361961d900d8171b305cb8f79b1aabc2]Chennai[/wiki] & nearly all other major airports in the country via [wiki=44bef2ee415c62f0ce01fbe6c5566250]Kolkata[/wiki] or [wiki=fe708cd1b984461c324699796b657b9c]Guwahati[/wiki]. There are several non-stop flights everyday from Kolkata and Guwahati. Typical airfare for these flights varies from Rs. 1800 (USD 35) to Rs. 3500 (USD 70), but can be much higher during peak travel seasons (Durga Puja in October/November, Christmas and New Year) unless tickets are booked several months in advance.

      To travel from the airport to the city:
      Taxis and auto-rickshaws are available outside the airport. The drivers flock around the arrival gate and are mostly reliable. Expect to pay around Rs. 150 (USD 3) for an auto-rickshaw and Rs. 300 (USD 6) for a taxi, but it is better to negotiate a price before boarding the vehicle. The drive to city takes approximately 20 minutes.

      Most of the hotels also have pickup services. Contact your hotel in advance to make an arrangement for you. Although public transports (buses and shared auto-rickshaws) are available just outside the airport gate, they are typically very crowded and not advisable for first time travellers.
