Not many people would be able to locate a place called "Ziro" on the map of India easily. Though this is district HQ, it has a population of just 12,000 which is much smaller than many villages elsewhere in the country. ||In a hilly place like this where it is very difficult to find level field and buildings are often very narrow, you have a 20 - 30 rooms hotel with many modern amenities and very clean hygiene maintained.
