About North East Explorers: Unveiling the Soul of the Northeast with the Best Tour Company of North East India
To us, the Northeast isn’t just home—it’s a secret carved into the hills, a song stitched into the rivers, a world alive with whispers most never hear. For me, Rajiv, the founder of this local Eco Travel Company, it’s where I was born, where I grew up chasing the wind through Assam’s fields and listening to the rain drum on Meghalaya’s roofs. But it’s more than that. It’s a wonder-filled universe—raw, radiant, and misunderstood—that I’ve always known deserved to be seen. Not just glimpsed, but felt. North East Explorers isn’t a business that sparked on a single trek or a sudden epiphany. It’s an idea that simmered over years, born from a quiet fire: to show the world what this land truly holds, beyond the postcards and presumptions.
Growing up here, I saw the Northeast through eyes the outside rarely did. To most, it was a distant corner of India—a blur of mountains or a name in a textbook. The few who knew it thought they understood: tea gardens, a famous waterfall, a quick selfie at Shillong’s edge. But they missed the heartbeat. The grandmother in a Nagaland village weaving stories into her shawl. The fisherman casting nets into Majuli’s fleeting rivers. The silence of Ziro’s valleys, where the air hums with something ancient. I saw travelers pass through, armed with wrong ideas—tales of unrest or emptiness—and leave without ever touching the real Northeast. That gnawed at me. I knew this place was bigger, deeper, wilder than they’d ever guess. And I wanted them to know it, too.
So North East Explorers took root—not as a company, but as a calling. It grew from countless nights dreaming of a way to peel back the curtain, to trade the obvious sightseeing for something truer. This isn’t about ticking off landmarks; it’s about stepping into a way of life. It’s the taste of smoked pork by a Khasi fire, the sway of a living root bridge under your feet, the echo of a tribal song in Arunachal’s dusk. We’re here to show you an offbeat Northeast—not the one in brochures, but the one we’ve lived. The one where beauty isn’t just in the view, but in the hands that tend it, the voices that fill it, the earth that holds it.
We’re a team of locals—born of this soil, bound by its stories—who’ve turned our love into a bridge. We tread soft, choosing homestays over high-rises, guides from the villages we roam, paths that leave the land as we found it. This isn’t eco-travel for a label; it’s how we’ve always lived here—taking only what we need, giving back where we can. Every journey with us is a thread woven into the Northeast’s fabric: a meal shared with a family in Mawlynnong, a laugh swapped on a Shnongpdeng riverbank, a moment of quiet under Sikkim’s vast sky.
Who are we? We’re the ones who’ve fished the Brahmaputra’s currents, danced at the Hornbill’s edge, and stumbled home through Meghalaya’s mud. We’re a family—of blood, of place, of purpose—driven to share North East India travel as it should be: real, messy, alive. And you? You’re not just a traveler to us. You’re someone we’ve waited to welcome, someone ready to see past the myths into a world that’s been here all along—waiting, breathing, calling.
