Tourist Department of Tripura had constructed one very modern tourist lodge- 'Eden Tourist Lodge' at Vanghmun village in the Jampui hills which has a capacity of 20 persons and is well equipped with all modern amenities. In addition, local hospitable Mizo people also extend "paying Guest" Accommodation facilities in their houses.

Jampui Hill, is situated about 205 Km away from Agartala and is the highest hill range in the state bordering Mizoram. A large number of tourists, both domestic and foreign, do visits the place.The rainy season is no less charming. During this season the hill is covered with floating clouds and it provides a rare experience for the tourists. The formation of clouds at the bottom of the hill range and its gradual ascendance from the bottom to the top slowly engulfing the whole hill range in its mystic lap is an experience to treasure.

Jindal also informed that the retrofitting work of the Neer Mahal will be completed within the month of May, 2015.
