If there is one significant city in the northeastern region after Guwahati, it is Agartala, the capital of Tripura. On the basis of municipal area and population, it is the region's second-largest settlement. Agartala, which is just 2 kilometres from Bangladesh, is also a cultural centre. It's in western Tripura, and the Haroa River runs through it. In and around Agartala, there is a range of tourist attractions. It is one of the few cities in the northeast that has successfully blended modernity with the city's rich history. While the city is densely packed with palaces and other princely estates, it has also gracefully allowed modern structures to sprout, introducing new colours and textures to the mix.
