From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Large wildlife sanctuary of forests, grasslands, wetlands and perennial streams, particularly known for gaur and six species of primate. Visitor facilities include wildlife-viewing areas, forest trails, water bodies and associated eco-tourism attractions.
A landscaped butterfly garden with nectar plants and habitat intended to attract numerous local butterfly species. It provides an easier place to observe butterflies than searching throughout the much larger forest sanctuary.
Basic Forest Department accommodation inside the Trishna area. Advance booking is essential, and visitors should confirm meals, electricity and check-in arrangements before travelling.
Tripura Tourism accommodation in Belonia and a practical base for travellers who prefer town facilities to staying inside the forest. Confirm present room availability before arrival.
Tourist accommodation at Jolaibari that can be useful when combining Trishna with the nearby archaeological remains at Pilak.
By car or taxi
The variation in published Agartala distances reflects the different road approaches through Sonamura or Udaipur.
By bus
Bus services connect Agartala with Belonia and other towns in southern Tripura.
By train
Belonia railway station is a practical rail access point approximately 19 km from the sanctuary.
By plane
The nearest major airport is Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport (IXA) at Agartala. The airport is roughly 120 km by road from the sanctuary depending on the route.
The sanctuary is much too large to explore entirely on foot. A combination of vehicle travel and walking is most practical.
