Ziro Hill Station in Arunachal Pradesh

Ziro is a tranquil hill station with clean crisp air, pleasant weather and gentle breeze that caress your skin. Surrounded by stately mountains armored with pine trees, this hill station is naturally scenic and located in the awe-inspiring Apatani plateau. The Apatani tribe is the only indigenous tribe found here and rather reticent in nature. Ziro has some highly ambient locations to see like the Taley Wildlife Sanctuary, Kile Pakho Ridge and the Bamboo groves. The vast expanses of paddy fields are a sight to behold during harvest season. This part of the country has been declared as a World Heritage site by UNESCO and is worth spending a few days in. 

Dawki Town in Meghalaya

Nature seems to be very gracious to this little down with its deep gorges, ravines, thick lush viridian landscapes and the blue green Dawki River that flows along merrily through it. This river is also the venue for the rather enthralling annual boat race held between March and April. It also serves as a nature made boundary between the Ripner or Jaintia Hills and the Hima Khyrim of Khasi Hills. The suspension bridge, built by the British, over the river inspires a feeling of thrill and adventure. Take time out to visit the Bleeding Rock on the hills surrounding the river. Legend has it that when someone attempted to break it, the rock began to bleed leading to the villager’s belief that harming it would bring ill-luck to the village! The rock stands strong and stoic despite the scar. A tiny yet exciting place to visit!

The village is standout due to its location atop a high hill with a long row of village homes that are illuminated with the different hues of the rising sun. Mokokchung is steeped in age-old customs and the villagers are more than happy to share tales of yore. Make an excursion to visit the Fusen kei and Mongzu Ki caves, the Longritzu Lenden river valley and the native Ungma village of the Ao tribe. The gossamer Rhododendrons grow in abundance on the hills and one can feast the senses on them from Longkhum.  Scenic locations and the innocence of the locals make this place truly fascinating.
