About Dambuk
An orange-growing area on the Dibang plains south-west of Roing, once cut off for months by river channels until the Sisseri bridge and the Dibang bridges linked it to Pasighat and Roing. The Orange Festival of Music in mid-December brings bands, camping, dirt bikes and orange stalls to a field for three days. Outside that week it is orchards and Adi villages, and quite empty.
