Sepahijala has Tripura's most accessible wildlife sanctuary (clouded leopards, primates, lake tourism) but lodging is thin. A 4–6 room eco-stay paired with curated guided experiences captures the growing slow-tourism segment from Agartala (1 hr) and Kolkata weekenders.

Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary — clouded leopards, primates, lake tourism — sits 35 km from Agartala. It's underserved by lodging despite proximity to the capital and a steady Kolkata weekender flow (3 hr by road). A small eco-stay (4–6 rooms) with sustainable construction, paired with curated guided experiences (sanctuary safaris, lake-side birdwatching, Tripuri cultural evenings), captures the slow-tourism premium.
Capex of ₹18–40 lakh covers land lease, eco-construction, furnishings, and trained guides. The North Eastern Council's tourism subsidy (35% capital grant for new accommodations) plus MUDRA Tarun fill the gap. Hard parts: managing 4 monsoon months of low occupancy, training local hospitality staff, and building OTA presence (Booking.com + Tripadvisor) from scratch. Realistic: 65% annual occupancy at scale, ₹4–6 lakh monthly net at year 3.
