About the Festival
Set in the breathtaking Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, Anini Winter Fest 5.0 is a premier music, culture, and adventure festival. Located in one of India's last great wilderness frontiers, Anini offers a mystical landscape of pine forests, snow-dusted Himalayan peaks, and rushing glacial rivers (Dri & Mathun). Over two unforgettable days, the festival brings together indie music performers, extreme sports enthusiasts, and the rich heritage of the indigenous Idu Mishmi tribe.
