Ziro, Traditional town in Lower Subansiri district, India

The Ziro Valley stretches across gentle hills at 1700 meters elevation, containing terraced rice fields, bamboo groves, and pine forest trails.

The Apatani people established permanent settlements in Ziro Valley, developing advanced agricultural methods that combine rice cultivation with fish farming.

The Apatani community maintains their identity through traditional practices, including women wearing silver nose plugs and performing seasonal ceremonial rituals.

Visitors need to obtain Inner Line Permits for Indians or Protected Area Permits for foreigners before entering Arunachal Pradesh and accessing Ziro.

The Ziro Music Festival, initiated in 2012, brings together musicians and artists in an outdoor setting surrounded by mountains and rice terraces.
