Getting to Dambuk, the village that hosts this four-day festival is an off-road challenge in itself. Nestled deep inside Arunachal Pradesh’s Lower Dibang Valley, Dambuk is known to produce some of the juiciest oranges in the country hence, the name Orange Festival. If you are a lover of music and adventure in equal measure then don’t give this a miss as it is known to be the first adventure cum music festival of its kind in the country. The music lineup is dominantly from the independent music genre. The USP of this festival is the multiple off-road adventure sports. Held in the dense rainforests and on the Brahmaputra river beds, this is unique for its challenges as it pits man and machine against nature’s fury. Adventure sports like river rafting, dirt biking, ATV rides in the forest and ziplining just to name a few. Tribal sports like archery, angling, tribal house building, orange plucking and forest food walks are also some of the interesting activities you could explore.
When: December.
