Bhindi or Okra / Ladies' finger, amaranth or chaulhai, brinjal or baingan and kaddu or green pumpkin growing in an organic village backyard garden in Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
In the traditional tribal village of Siro in Ziro Valley, things are carried out in the same traditional way as always. This homestay has varied vegetable farms and fruit orchards around it. Travellers staying here could experience the very essence of traditional farming techniques. The farming techniques of the Apatanis are famous for their sustainable approach towards development.
Ziro is situated in Lower Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, 167 kms from the capital Itanagar. It can be reached via road from Guwahati or Dibrugarh towns in Assam.
Just 167 km from the capital, Itanagar, Ziro is one of the oldest towns in Arunachal Pradesh. Situated in a valley, it is at a height of over 5500 feet above sea level, with a beautiful view of the mountains that surround it.
Ziro is primarily home to the Apatanis -- simple, friendly and hospitable people with an interesting culture and legacy. They are a non-nomadic, agrarian tribe who share a responsible relationship with nature. Apatanis cultivate permanent wet land cultivations instead of dry land cultivations which involves burning forests. Ziro valley is lush with paddy farms and is known for its unique paddy cum fi sh cultivation where using traditional irrigation methods, farmers rear fish in the knee-deep water. Keeping them company are the adorable, shy, and harmless Indian Bisons.
