Getting to Ziro




 




Car Sickness
And she fell asleep on my shoulder. When we reached Hapoli, she bought me a bar of chocolate for the inconvenience caused.
The two officers of the Indo-Tibetan Border Security Force who helped us get a local shared passenger car that cost about eight times less than what the touts and drivers standing outside Naharlagun Station were charging.


TIPS FOR THE JOURNEY
1. Carry your own tiffin box, spoon, waterbottle, hand towel, hand sanitiser, first aid kit, Newspaper that can be reused. Carry light snacks like biscuits and fruits.
2. Have your ID Card, the travel permit, money and phone on you at all times.
3. Be respectful of the local culture. Do not stare, do not harrass them for photos. Respect the privacy of the locals.
4. Dress for the weather - it can get pretty chilly, and its raining most of the times, so carry a raincoat and a pair of gumboots.
5. If you're a smoker and need a specific brand of cigarettes, then carry packs of them too. Shops in Ziro and surrounding areas do not keep brands like Classic or Marlboro.
