Ziro Music Festival - Camping | Beyond Sightseeing (23 - 28 September 2026)
 
Beyond Sightseeing is a collection of experiences created for travelers who want something different from the usual itinerary of monuments, viewpoints, and sightseeing.
This experience takes you to Ziro Valley, Arunachal Pradesh, not just to visit the destination, but to immerse yourself in the Ziro Music Festival—one of India's most celebrated independent music festivals.
 
For four nights, your home will be a 5000-star accommodation—a dome tent beneath the open sky. Expect music, muddy shoes, conversations with fellow travellers, chilly evenings, and memories that go far beyond a conventional holiday.
 
If you're looking for luxury, predictable schedules, and complete peace and quiet, this may not be the right trip for you. But if you're excited by live music, camping, community, and experiences you'll remember long after you've returned home, welcome to Beyond Sightseeing.
 
(The festival and camp site might be up to 1km way with no transport option)
