Why February here
Lower Dibang’s citrus country: orchards, the Orange Festival of music and motorsport, and river isolation in monsoon.
Dambuk is the orange country of Lower Dibang Valley: orchards across the valley floor, and each December the Orange Festival mixes indie music, motorsport and fruit in the fields. In monsoon the rivers cut it off, which is part of its legend.
