Dumboor

Nestled in the serene hills of Gandacherra in Tripura, Dumboor Lake is a breathtaking waterbody shaped like a ‘dumboor’ (drum), offering a peaceful retreat into untouched nature. Spread across 41 square kilometers with 48 small islands scattered across its sparkling blue surface, Dumboor is a haven for birdwatchers, peace seekers, and nature lovers. Surrounded by dense forests and gentle hills, the lake is a biodiversity hotspot, home to migratory birds and vibrant aquatic life. The nearby Hydel Project, Tirthamukh (a confluence of rivers Raima and Sarma), and the annual Poush Sankranti Festival draw both spiritual pilgrims and curious travelers alike. Boating through its emerald waters offers surreal views of the floating islands and thickly forested banks, making Dumboor not just a destination, but an experience in slow, immersive travel. It’s a perfect offbeat escape for those looking to reconnect with nature and explore the hidden wonders of Northeast India.
