The Hilly Town of Ziro

By Manoj

One of the lesser known hill stations in Arunachal Pradesh is the small hilly town of Ziro. It is nestled between dense forests and rice fields. Situated at an elevation of 1,500 mt above sea level this secluded town is certainly a place to go to for relaxking and rejuvenating yourself.

There are not many tourist places to visit in Ziro and that in itself makes this scenic place lesser known. But those who have travelled here will certainly vouch for the beauty and calmness that the town emotes. It is a perfect weekend getaway for those staying nearby as they can go trekking and also visit the wildlife sanctuary here.
