Dumboor Lake is honestly one of the most peaceful and beautiful spots you can visit in Tripura. Tucked away in the hills near Gandacherra, this lake is shaped like a dumboor (a traditional drum), which is pretty cool and unique. The place is surrounded by green hills and forests, and the fresh air feels amazing—especially if you’re tired of the city noise.
