Half a day is enough: visit the railway station area and local markets, then return to Agartala. Not a base.
Bishalgarh is a small town in western Tripura, 40 km from Agartala. It has a railway station and a few local markets but no major sights. Most travellers pass through on the way to Udaipur or Sabroom, or stop for a short look.
