Ziro is a picturesque plateau nestled in the Lower Subansiri District of Arunachal Pradesh, India, surrounded by verdant hills and dotted with rice fields and pine-clad gentle slopes. Known for its unique Apa Tani tribal culture, its cool climate, and its scenic beauty, this UNESCO World Heritage Site aspirant is a serene escape. Ziro is recognized for the practice of paddy cum pisciculture by the Apa Tani tribe—fishes are reared in the paddy fields, creating a sustainable ecosystem. The landscape is marked by traditional bamboo houses set against a backdrop of lush green forests and the mist-covered mountains. Ziro is also famed for its annual Ziro Music Festival, which is a high point for music enthusiasts featuring artists from across the world. Moreover, Ziro is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, offering opportunities for trekking and bird-watching. The stillness and the pastoral environment of the plateau provide a slice of tranquil life far from the bustling cityscapes.
