What's the month of September remind you? Do you feel droplets of rain on your cheeks? Do you feel that entire atmosphere is changing around you? Do you feel the fresh air on your forehead that's coming behind the trees? True! You must have felt all these things during the Monsoon that lasts from the months of July to October.

Moreover, if you are an enthusiastic and an avid traveller along with the taste of Music, then nothing can be best than travelling to Arunachal Pradesh in September. You must be wondering why am I talking about travelling and connecting it to music? I heard this song a few days back and then I realized what is there that's intertwining travelling with music:

And the road becomes my bride

I have stripped of all but pride

So, in her, I do confide

And she keeps me satisfied

Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat, I crave

Only knowledge will I save

To the game, you stay a slave

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will

-METTALICA

Anyone can be called a music lover, but a wanderer will only understand what's that feeling of traveling to an unexplored destination and explore a new music of life. And that's where you call yourself- 'A rover, Wanderer, Nomad, and a Vagabond".

'ZIRO' is one such music festival that takes you into the lap of nature and its majestic beauty. The festival is celebrated every year in a ZIRO valley in Arunachal Pradesh, where everything is quiet, serene, and in a state of tranquil.

What's more important that connects this music festival with your traveling decisions is that it is celebrated in the month of September, when the ZIRO valley is full of the captivating and pleasant environment.

Now comes an unexpected journey towards finding your new world! You will have to take the flight to Guwahati and from there ZIRO valley is 440 km. Or else, if you want to explore road trip, then you can take a bus or book your own cab and witness the snow-covered Himalayan range, turns and curvy roads, valley, hills and what not!

ZIRO valley is a world heritage site declared by UNESCO and when it's about music, then ZIRO MUSIC FESTIVAL is the best one to attend in a happening outdoor environment. Now here something reminds me one of the popular song sung by Kishor Kumar and its entirely connecting with what a wanderer looks for in his life:

मुसाफिर हूँ यारों

ना घर है ना ठिकाना

मुझे चलते जाना है

बस चलते जाना

-KISHOR KUMAR

वो कहते हैं न:

पिघले नीलम सा बहता हुआ यह समां

नीली नीली सी खामोशियाँ

न कहीं है ज़मीन

न कहीं आसमां

सरसराती हुयी टहनिय, पत्तियां

कह रह हैं की बस एक तुम हो यहाँ

-Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara
