Ziro Festival of Music, 2015

Named after the picturesque Ziro valley in Arunachal Pradesh, the music festival is a great opportunity to explore a corner of north-eastern India. Ziro is essentially the home of the Apatani tribe. Ziro town is one of the oldest towns in Arunachal Pradesh in a valley at a height of over 5500 feet above sea level surrounded by misty mountains. The nearest airport is Guwahati. Stay in tented accommodation right at the venue and enjoy uninterrupted music.  A few hotels are also available in Ziro town. You can also avail the travel packages on offer.  The Ziro Festival of Music will be held from September 24-27, 2015. “The 2015 edition will be over four days and will feature top indie acts from across the globe as well as the best folk musicians from the North East,” assure the organisers. And yes, remember to pack some woollens and raingear. Festival tickets (Rs 4,000) available online.
