Shops and premises

Pasighat main marketPasighat

Fermented and dried bamboo shoot, king chilli, hearth-smoked pork and fish, local ginger, foraged greens and seasonal river fish

The most complete single view of the region's foodways. Come early; the smoked-meat and bamboo-shoot sellers are separate from the vegetable rows.

Aalo bazaarAalo (Along)

Galo weaving, cane and bamboo baskets, apong ingredients and starter cakes

Busiest in the run-up to Mopin in early April.

Daporijo marketDaporijo

Tagin and Galo produce, millet, cane work and the supplies for the upper Subansiri villages

Ziro weaving and craft groupsZiro / Hapoli

Apatani loin-loom textiles bought from the weavers' own collectives

The Apatani weave is a separate GI from the Adi and Galo ones and looks nothing like them — worth knowing before you buy on the assumption that Arunachal weaving is one thing.

Arunachal Pradesh state handicrafts emporiaItanagar and Naharlagun

Cane and bamboo work, textiles and dao from across the state

Government outlets rather than village workshops. Useful for comparison and for fixed prices, but the weaving is better and cheaper bought at Aalo, Ziro or Pasighat.

Basar Confluence craft stallsBasar

Galo textiles, cane work and food, sold directly by the households that make them

Seasonal — the stalls run with the festival, usually in November.
