It was a festival that I had heard a lot about but didn\u2019t know anyone around me who had been there. Therefore, my research for everything had to be very detailed and I couldn\u2019t leave much room for impromptu plans in Arunachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n

Firstly, I bought the four-day festival pass (INR 5,000) and a Bring-Your-Own-Tent pass (INR 3,000) from the official website of Ziro Festival of Music.
