Green Island
The Aquatic Jewel: Green Island is a picturesque and tranquil destination situated in the middle of the expansive Rudrasagar Lake in Melaghar.

It is a paradise for birdwatchers, as the surrounding waters attract a variety of migratory and local avian species, especially during the winter months. The island provides a perfect setting for nature photography, with the reflection of the sky on the water and the silhouette of Neermahal providing a dramatic backdrop. For visitors, Green Island serves as a quiet retreat where one can enjoy the cool lake breeze and the sounds of nature away from the crowds. It is an ideal spot for couples and families to spend quality time together. The management of the island emphasizes environmental preservation, ensuring that the delicate ecosystem of Rudrasagar Lake is protected. The island also plays a role during the Neermahal Water Festival, serving as a landmark for boat races and cultural celebrations. Its location in the heart of the lake makes it a unique geographical feature in Tripura, offering a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape. Green Island is a testament to the natural beauty that thrives in Melaghar, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the Rudrasagar circuit.
