Good to know
About Ziro Festival of Music
Our camp is a 1.5 km walk from the festival gates, about fifteen to twenty minutes through the villages. Your tent is up when you arrive, so you carry a daypack, not a rucksack.
Breakfast and dinner are included. There is a cafe and bar on site, with lunch on pre-order. When the stages close, we light bonfires and the acoustic jams begin.
Restrooms are proper concrete blocks, separate for men and women, with running water all day and night. There are no sockets in the tents. Charge at the central station and bring a power bank.
Choosing a package
Ziro Campsite is the stay on its own, for 3 or 4 nights. Guwahati Central adds the road trip from our Guwahati lounge. Naharlagun Station and Holongi Airport pick you up at the train or the plane. Packages with a transfer include the daytime outings.
Getting there
Guwahati is about 448 km away, a nine-hour drive. Naharlagun is the nearest railway station, about 100 km and three hours. Holongi (Donyi Polo Airport) is about four hours. Or book a transfer package and just turn up.
What to bring
Late September days are misty and warm, 18-24°C. Nights are cold, 10-16°C. It will rain at least once.
Gumboots are the best thing you can pack. You can also buy a pair at Hapoli market for ₹300-400. Bring layers, a raincoat, dry socks, a headlamp, a power bank and cash. The network drops when the valley fills up, and UPI stops working.
Festival passes
Not included. Buy them from the official Ziro Festival portal or at the box office. Get your wristband in daylight on day one. The evening queue is long.
Inner Line Permit
Indian citizens need an Inner Line Permit for Arunachal Pradesh. Apply on the official Arunachal ILP portal and pick Lower Subansiri as your district. Foreign nationals and NRIs need a Protected Area Permit through e-FRRO, which takes about four weeks. Or add our ILP service when you book and we will file it for you.
