Attractions in Ziro Valley

2 places to see, with what each one is and how long it takes.

Apatani Villages

Experience

Hong is the largest of them and Hija among the oldest. The older Apatani women have facial tattoos and wooden nose plugs — a practice that ended in the 1970s, so this is the last generation carrying it. Ask before photographing anyone.

Ziro Rice Fields

Viewpoint

The valley's emerald wet-rice terraces, especially vivid in the growing season.

Elsewhere in Arunachal Pradesh
