How To Reach Tropic of Cancer
The Tropic of Cancer (Garjee Landmark) is a significant geographical site located in the Gomati district of Tripura. It marks the exact point where the imaginary line of the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees North latitude) passes through the state. This landmark is situated within the lush Garjee Res erve Forest, making it a unique combination of science and nature. For geography enthusiasts and students, standing on this line is a thrill, as it represents the northernmost point where the sun can appear directly overhead at noon. The state government has installed a prominent marker and a globe structure to help tourists identify the spot. The surrounding forest is part of a biodiversity hotspot, home to various species of flora and fauna, including rare primates like the Hoolock Gibbon. The road passing through this landmark is exceptionally scenic, with tall teak and sal trees forming a green canopy. The air here is noticeably cooler and fresher than in the urban centers. Historically, this point has been a stopover for travelers moving toward the southern parts of Tripura, like Sabroom. The landmark serves as an educational tool, bringing textbook geography to life. Small informative plaques explain the significance of the tropic and its impact on the local climate. It is a place where one can pause to reflect on the Earth's tilt and its celestial journey. The site is well-maintained, with small benches for visitors to rest. It has become a popular "check-in" spot for road trippers. The blend of the scientific importance of the latitude and the natural beauty of the Garjee forest makes it a must-visit destination in the Gomati district. :
