forbidding mountainscape of Arunachal
Pradesh. It is home to the ‘Apatanis’ – as they
are fondly referred to – the oldest tribe of

and rice fields. This valley has its own speciality- lush bamboo forests and picturesque trails
lined with tall blue and green pines, making it
one of the most photogenic valleys across India.

winters are the characteristics of Ziro. The
place is great for adventure seekers too –
whether one is looking forward to a great
trekking experience, jungle camping fun or
wildlife exploration. Ziro is not likely to leave
anyone disappointed.HOW TO REACH: The nearest airport to Ziro
