Tura is the capital of Garo-country: a town under Tura Peak with the Pelga falls road out, markets mixing Garo and Bengali trade, and the practical base for the western circuit, Nokrek Biosphere and the long road to Balpakram.
The Wangala season (Sept-Dec, 100 Drums in early November) is when the hills sing.
