Explore Ziro Valley and Apatani Culture

One of the biggest reasons to extend your Ziro Festival trip beyond the festival grounds is the opportunity to experience the culture and landscapes of the Apatani Valley.

The package offers different accommodation choices depending on your selected option.

Dome Camping

Dome tents provide a comfortable camping experience for travellers looking for a balance between the outdoor atmosphere and organised accommodation.

Alpine Camping

Alpine tents offer another camping option for travellers who prefer a traditional festival camping setup.

The campsite includes essential facilities such as clean Indian and Western toilets, shower areas, drinking water stations and 24x7 on site security.
