“Amazing experience with the JustWravel for Leh Ladakh with Turtuk and Tso Moriri trip. Amazing bike martial and management”

Anurag Gupta

“A trip of a lifetime❤️!! This was my first group trip and road trip to Spiti valley which was excellent. All strangers become close friends by the end of the trip and all of us feel like going on another trip with the same group. The stay was very comfortable and clean, beautiful peaceful locations with perfect mountains and sunrise view. All the sight seeing and activities like trekking, hiking were really good. Special thanks to Captain Divya❤️. She gave her best efforts in the entire journey to make it more enjoyable and memorable. We really had a good time with you. Such a kind and humble captain we had with Great responsibility. The best captain I can say. Overall I would say I would come again on another trip with Justwravel. Thankyou to the entire team specially Divya and Nishant. Thanks for lots of good memories @justwravel.”

“I recently went to Winter Spiti Valley trip with JustWravel which ended up being more as a trip with best friends. JustWravel had everything sorted for us be it transportation, safety, constant checkups, personalised care , accommodation, food and everything was super comfortable and amazing. Then it comes to the best part of this trip our trip captains - Abhishek and Ramneek He treated us like their own brother from day one and made sure all of us are having the time of our lives. They had constant checkups to ensure all of us are doing great physically. They had good knowledge about the place and shared the same with us as well. I would surely plan my next trip with JustWravel. I would like to mention an instance: I forgot my bag in the Volvo bus and there was nothing important in that bag but our captains still went out of their way to ensure that I got my bag safely.”

Overview

Ziro Festival of Arunachal Pradesh is one of the grandest outdoor music festivals in India. Conceived in 2012 by Bobby Hano and Menwhopause guitarist Anup Kutty, the festival spans four magical days in the scenic Ziro Valley, perched 5,500 feet above sea level. The stunning backdrop of misty mountains and terraced landscapes makes it a favorite not just among Indian travelers but also international visitors.

In 2025, the Ziro Festival of Music is scheduled from 25th to 28th September, and is hosted by the Apatani tribe, native to this enchanting valley in Arunachal Pradesh.

During the festival, the golden-orange hues of ripe paddy fields dominate the landscape, turning the valley into a canvas of color. The surroundings—lush bamboo groves, kiwi orchards, and towering pine trees—further enhance the charm of Ziro Valley.

Each year, over 40 artists from diverse musical genres perform live, offering an eclectic mix of soundscapes. But Ziro Festival is far more than just a music event. The scenic drive to the valley, the refreshing weather, warm hospitality of the Apatanis, flavorful local cuisine and wine, vibrant campsites, and late-night jamming sessions all combine to create a uniquely immersive cultural experience.

Trip Highlights:

• Spend four nights enjoying an ultimate eco-friendly camping experience curated specially for this event.

• Be part of intimate jamming sessions and lively after-parties at the campsite.

• Explore the local culture through village walks and Apatani tribal tours.

• Try your hand at Apatani-style fishing and unwind with mud therapy in the paddy fields.

• Soak in four days of music, art, and cultural performances at the festival grounds.

• Discover stunning examples of sustainable design through world-class bamboo architecture in the valley.

• Join photo tours that capture the spirit of the Apatani tribe and the vibrant energy of the festival.
