Tripura

Central and northern Tripura are characterized by a hilly landscape defined by a series of north-south-trending mountain ranges and four major valleys: the Dharmanagar, Kailashahar, Kamalpur, and Khowai.1

These valleys are carved by northward-flowing rivers, including the Juri, Manu, Deo, Dhalai, and Khowai. The region's topography is shaped by successive ranges that decrease in elevation from east to west. The easternmost Jampai Tlang range reaches heights between 2,000 and 3,000 feet (600 to 900 metres), followed by the Sakhan Tlang, the Langtarai Range, and the Athara Mura Range. The westernmost hills in this area, the Deotamura, reach approximately 800 feet (240 metres).1
