Story In-between

 




Back in 2015, I was just another wide-eyed festival-goer, spellbound by the misty charm of Ziro Valley and the electric vibe of the Ziro Festival of Music. I didn’t know then that one day I’d return, not just as an attendee, but as a host.


By 2019, that love translated into action—and Camp Ziro-Z was born. The idea was simple: create a comfortable, budget-friendly space for fellow music lovers, especially those coming from far corners of the country who might find the logistics of reaching this remote paradise a little overwhelming.


But just as we were picking up momentum, the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic hit. The festival was called off in both 2020 and 2021. Like everyone else, we waited. And hoped.


When ZFM made its comeback in 2022, so did we. And what a comeback it was. Over the past three editions—2022, 2023, and 2024—Camp Ziro-Z has hosted over 800 guests from across India and beyond. From solo backpackers and indie travelers to friend groups and music-loving couples, we’ve had the joy of watching our small camp turn into a vibrant little community each year.


What makes us different?

Apart from being just 750 meters from the main festival arena, we’ve always focused on community—not just camping. It’s in the shared stories around bonfires, jam sessions under the stars, and warm cups of morning chai with strangers-turned-friends.


As we step into our 5th year of hosting, we’re planning something truly special. Our 2025 edition will be our biggest and most premium experience yet—but still rooted in the same backpacker-friendly soul that started it all.


Whether it’s your first Ziro Festival or your fifth, we invite you to make Camp Ziro-Z your home this September.

Come for the music, stay for the community.
