In my recent visit to one of the most beautiful places in Arunachal, Ziro, i was really enthralled by the scenic beauty and the miraculous discovery of 25 feet tall Shivlinga near Ziro,located at about 1500 metres above mean sea level in the midst of the pine clad mountains, a Hidden land by Ursula G. Bowler, Ziro is the headquarter of Lower Subansiri District inhabited by more than have 50,000 friendly Apatani’s people. The land of Apatani’s is a valley, uneven and dotted with a number of hillocks beneath the lust paddy field.
It was a planned visit. We left our home at Itanagar around 5:30 in the morning and enjoyed the ride to our destination. We were not in any kind of rush, so it must have taken a little more time. The road was frightening coz the other side was deep, really deep valley.
After a considerable ride we got hungry and so had our breakfast which we took from home in a small hotel or dhaba. We took tea from that hotel. The whole way i took pics of whatever caught my eye, by 1.3 megapixel phone camera !!
The way to Shivlinga is before Hapoli which is near Ziro. After reaching there we have to climb steps to reach the Shivlinga. We were able to see many devotees there, the place is silent and beautiful, graced by God !!
Then we took a ride to Ziro and were keen to see the place, household and the Plum trees in almost all the houses.
The whole trip excellent and awesome.......
