4. Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh

One of the oldest towns of Arunachal Pradesh, Ziro is more mysterious than you think! Its weather is cold during the summers and even colder in the winters! The Meghana Cave Temple located on top of a  hill is more than 5000 years old and you can explore the mystic forces within the cave to get yourself a little goose bumpy.

The view from the top of this hill is insane and you’d think twice before venturing into the dense forest at the foothills. From up top, it just looks like a green blanket with beautiful mountains as the backdrop. Who would want to leave? Not us!

You can also trek upwards the Dolo Mando if you feel like you need to wear out your shoes a little. This trekking trail is for intermediate level climbers who have a little experience in trekking. If you’re a beginner, you can ask for a guide to mentor you along the trail. The Pine Grove is extremely similar to the ‘pumpkin farm’ in Hawkins and will definitely give you shaky legs if you went alone after the sunset!
