Ziro Festival: Experience Heaven in the lap of nature

Let The Music Take You Away
Oh, and also the scenery maybe?

Ziro festival has helped to realise the wildest dreams of every 20 something year old nature loving music fanatic. The journey to reach there is hard and tiring but in the end it’s all worth it, like all good things in life.

It is back with a bang, quite literally too. Spread across four days this year, from 24th to 27th September, the festival is considered to be the greatest, the very best, outdoor music festival in the country. This festival has certainly not gained this reputation without a reason. Taking place in Arunachal Pradesh and the fact that you can live in tents, actual tents, does nothing to hinder it’s reputation.

The festival is for lover of any genre of music ranging from new to old; folk to rock. Dualist Inquiry, Prateek Kuhad, Run! It’s the kid!, Nicholson, THE F16s, Side Effect, The Pilgrim, North, Boomarang, Tetseo Sisters, Barmer Boys, Nush Lewis, Fadu, Thermal & a Quarter and many more are supposed to be performing at the four day festival.

It can be called the face of independent music artists in India. The very best of them. Set purposely with a scenic beauty, the festival attracts crowds looking out for an overall experience. Nature Treks, Apatani cultural heritage walks, bird watching, River Rafting, Biking Expedition to the nearby villages, Drive or hike to the top of Ziro Puttu (mountain), Visit the shivling at kardo which is a mere 6km away are just some of the things that you can do while at the festival. It is, exactly the kind of things college kids only fantasize about doing.

Music+ Scenery+ Your dreams come true all in one place over the course of just four days. This festival will no doubt leave you spell bounded and in love with the place, the people and the wonderful artists. And your life will never be the same. No seriously.
