Tripura

Tripura is a northeastern state in India, bordering Bangladesh to the south and Assam to the west. It is known for its lush green hills, serene lakes, and vibrant tribal culture. The state's capital, Agartala, is a bustling city with a mix of modern and traditional architecture.

Manipur is another northeastern state in India, bordering Nagaland and Assam to the north, Mizoram to the south, and Myanmar to the east. It is home to diverse ethnic groups, including Meiteis, Kukis, Nagas, and Tangkhuls. Manipur is known for its beautiful landscapes, including the Loktak Lake, the highest altitude freshwater lake in India, and the Kangla Fort, an ancient fortress that was once the capital of the Manipur kingdom.
