Village Lodge at Ziro


Itanagar-Ziro-Daporijo-Along route has been the most popular tourist routes, next only to Bhalukpong-Bomdila-Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. Even so, accomodation issue have been a nagging problem in this route. Not any longer in the near future. Ideas of village tourist lodges are catching up with the people at Ziro.

One such lodge with a restaurant has been started recently.

The building, mostly of wood and bamboo, has a freshening look and the restaurant serves Indian, Chinese, Continental and Traditional Apatani dishes.

  2. Good to see you visiting, Tago. How are you all doing?
    Victor Landi and his wife is running the lodge in collaboration with one of his staff, who also works in the District Museum, Ziro. They have grand plans to develop the site, including a camping area beside the lodge to provide more options to the tourists. Trust that helps.

  6. @taj, Alas! raising costs and higher cost of living for the local people have always been the other side of the coin in the places where tourism has done well. That exactly is one more reason to encourage real village lodges so that real village people get more benefits.

  8. Do you people know that Apatani culture is quite well popular among the cultural researchers of the world. But alas! we are loosing our own heritage by adapting total westernisation.
    A matter to think about.
