Akhaura Integrated Check Post and Border Ceremony

Akhaura Integrated Check Post is an India-Bangladesh land port located on Akhaura Road, about 2 km from Agartala city in West Tripura. Developed by the Land Ports Authority of India and operational since 2013, it serves as a major passenger and cargo crossing. It is notable for its joint retreat border ceremony conducted by India's Border Security Force and Bangladesh's Border Guard Bangladesh, attracting visitors to witness the coordinated parade and flag-lowering ritual.

Visitors can expect a secured border complex with immigration and customs buildings, fenced border gates, and a designated visitor gallery facing the zero line. The main attraction is the joint retreat ceremony with synchronized marching, flag lowering and salutes by personnel from both sides. The surroundings are flat and open with viewing stands, security barricades and photo opportunities of the border gates and national flags.
