Arunachal Pradesh: Apatani Agricultural Heritage Walk with Transfers

Walk through the traditional agricultural landscape of Ziro Valley with a local guide and learn how the Apatani community has developed and maintained its distinctive wet-rice farming system.

The landscape combines paddy fields, irrigation channels, field bunds, villages, bamboo and pine areas and surrounding hills. The Apatani system is particularly notable for combining wet-rice cultivation with fish rearing and millet cultivation on field bunds. Traditional irrigation channels distribute water through the agricultural area, while customary practices help maintain soil fertility and surrounding watersheds.
