Saika Waterfall
Saika Waterfall, also known as Tuisoi Waterfall, is a breathtaking hidden gem located in the Longtharai Reserve Forest. This natural wonder has recently gained popularity among adventure seekers and nature lovers in Tripura. The waterfall cascades down from a height of approximately 150 feet, creat ing a refreshing pool at the bottom surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. The trek to the waterfall is an adventure in itself, involving a walk through thick forests and bamboo groves. The water is crystal clear and remains perennial, though it is most majestic during and after the monsoon. The site is located near the Saikar village, which is known as one of the cleanest villages in the state. It offers a perfect escape for those looking to experience raw, untouched nature far from urban noise.:
