Now that you know the ticket prices, let’s get to the most important part.

Why You Need to Plan Your Stay Carefully

Ziro Valley is a small town with limited places to stay. During the festival, thousands of people visit. That’s why it gets very hard to find good rooms, tents, or homestays if you book late.

What to Know Before Booking Your Stay

1. Book Early
   This is the most important point. Most good tents, homestays, and camps get full quickly. Book your stay as soon as you buy your ticket.
2. Pick the Right Location
   Try to book a place close to the festival grounds. If you stay far away, you’ll either need to walk a long distance or pay extra for transport. Also, due to heavy traffic during the festival, you might get stuck as most roads are narrow and many are converted to one-way routes during the event.
3. Know Your Stay Type
   There are 3 main types of stays:
   • Tents (Great for fun and budget travel)
   • Homestays (Stay with locals, feel like home)
   • Guesthouses (More private, a bit expensive)
   Each has pros and cons. Choose based on comfort and budget.
4. Problem Staying in Tents
   There are many agencies that pitch tents near the Ziro Festival ground, but for most of the year, there are no camping activities. These are not permanent structures – they are set up only during the festival. As a result, facilities like water, washrooms, and camping spaces are all temporary.
   During rain, many of these places face problems with mud and poor conditions. Additionally, if you are traveling with children who may not be comfortable staying in tents, this can be an issue.
   However, tent stays are very affordable. Contact us for safe and reliable tent accommodations.
5. Problems Staying in Homestays and Guest Houses
   Homestays and guest houses don’t have the same problems you might face in tents. However, the prices of homestays and guest houses are very high during the festival season.
   If you plan to stay in these accommodations, it’s best to book as early as possible. Also, try to find a homestay or hotel near the camping ground – otherwise, traveling to the Ziro Festival ground can take a lot of time due to heavy traffic.
6. Check Facilities
   Not all places have clean toilets, water, or charging points. Read the details carefully before booking – always ask what is included.
7. Read Reviews
   See what past guests say about the place. Look for ratings on cleanliness, safety, and service. Good reviews mean a good stay.

What to Pack for a Comfortable Stay

Make sure to carry:

• Warm clothes (it gets cold at night)
• Sleeping bag or blanket (if you stay in a tent)
• Power bank
• Flashlight or headlamp
• Basic toiletries

These small things make a big difference.
