Ziro \u2013 It comes every year to spell-bind the country\u2019s music lovers. Numerous stages, all thumping with the beats\u2014of those on stage, and of those hearts in front of it. No, I\u2019m not talking about sunburn. It\u2019s much less and still much more. It\u2019s the ziro music festival held at the ziro valley in Arunachal Pradesh. Oh my gawd, yes! Now you know there\u2019s more than just Sunburn out there. Thank me later.<\/span><\/p>\n

First commenced in 2012 by Bobby Hano and Menwhopause guitarist Anup kutty, the festival is a pageantry featuring indie music from all-over India. Thousands of people gather in this place, 4 km from hapoli. No, the journey to this remote place is not easy but all I can say is it\u2019s worth it. The place rages on with music for 3-4 days driven by the spirit of music lovers, the Apatani tribesmen and the sheer mirth of rice beer.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Apatani, the indigenous population of this region, known for their friendly, music loving selves perform various elaborate rituals and animal sacrifices starting from many days prior to Ziro music festival as an appeasement to the weather gods. The tribe is also known for it\u2019s traditional tattooing. You might as well get inked as a souvenir. Apart from the festival this place has much to offer you, the plethora of scenic beauty being the major one. Misty mountains that surround Ziro will take your breath away.<\/span><\/p>\n

And still the question remains\u2014when? This year ZFM is to be held starting from 28th September and 1st October being the finale. You could either book hotels at the town of ziro, or if that isn\u2019t enough for your juiced up soul , there is a festival campsite for visitors. The nearest airport is at Tezpur, Assam, but the one in Guwahati is better connected to major Indian cities. The closest railway station is Naharlagun (100km\/4hr). My advice? Don\u2019t miss out!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
