A relaxed day diving into Kamalpur's lesser-known spots, local crafts, and flavors, wrapping up the trip with a taste of rural Tripura.
Activities
Morning at Rowa Wildlife Sanctuary
Start your day with a quiet walk in this underrated sanctuary, just a short drive from Kamalpur. It's smaller than other reserves but teeming with birds and occasional deer sightings. The dense foliage and peaceful trails make it a great spot for nature lovers who prefer solitude over crowded parks.
- Carry binoculars if you have them—the sanctuary is a haven for migratory birds.

Handloom Village Visit
Head to a nearby tribal village known for its traditional handloom weaving. Watch artisans create intricate patterns on loinlooms, a technique unique to Tripura's indigenous communities.

- Wear sturdy shoes—the path down to the carvings can be slippery.
- Local kids sometimes offer guided explanations for a small tip.
