Sprawling Hapoli (New Ziro), starting 7km further ridgeview chalets south than Ziro, has hotels and road transport. Just below the Commissioner s office ridgeview chalets on a bend in MG Rd is an SBI ATM. There are a couple of internet cafes around the market area but connections are as rare as a tiger in the nearby forests. The small central market is well worth poking about in. As well as fruit, veg and clothing you can stock up on various insects and other delights to snack on.
