Exploring Assam and Arunachal Pradesh off the beaten tracks with excellent local guides - We were a group of friends, 6 Germans average 70 years of age and we took part in a 20 day trip organized by North East Explorers in Assam and... read more Arunachal Pradesh. We spent several days each at Kaziranga NP, Majuli Island, Bomdila, Tewang and near Dirang, where we did overnight camping in tents and took part in several spectacular jungle walks. Towards the end of the trip we spent 3 days at 3 very pleasant bamboo cottages near Nameri NP. Our driver and the local guides took very good care of us and the food at small local restaurants was delicious and moderately priced. There was ample opportunity for photographs of birds, monkeys and the impressive vegetation. All in all it was a very pleasant and unforgettable experience.

  Meghalaya & Kazhiranga - 8 day Rejuvenating Experience  - We had never visited the North Eastern region in the past, so we didn’t know what/how/wheres of it. With some googling and based on reviews, we reached out to Northeast... read more Explorers and we got a custom itinerary scheduled for us. The plan was for the 3 of us (me, my wife and my 7-yr old son). I spoke to Rajiv Verma over phone (who runs the Northeast Explorers company). He was always available to clarify any questions (like getting Vegetarian food, safari details, things that we hear from friends and relatives, issues near Indo-Bangladesh border, etc). He patiently clarified all questions. We also had a flight delay due to which there had to be some last minute changes had to be done to our plans, which was not a problem at all.

We were picked up from Guwahati airport and dropped back there at the end of the 8 days trip. The entire arrangement and itinerary was perfect and awesome. We had to stay in 5 different homestays during this trip, and all of them were really good. Nothing fancy, but simple, clean, hygienic (food and stay) and comfortable.

Our driver and guide, Apu, was really sweet, helpful and informative. He is a local of Meghalaya. He took us to the all touristy places and also some of the places which only the locals know. The time at which he took us to those places was also perfect. We avoided the majority of tourist crowds, and were able to enjoy the beautiful place with peace. We covered almost all the majority attractions in Meghalaya, but it definitely calls for another trip where we can spend some more time in each of those places. We explored Shillong (in and around), Sohra (Cherrapunji), root bridges, caves, Mawlynnong (cleanest village in Asia) and also Dawki (crystal clear lake water boating).

The best part was the safaris in Kazhiranga (both elephant and jeep safari). We got to do the pre-dawn elephant safari. It is the best time for the safari, we enjoyed the fresh morning air, sun just dawning from behind the mountains, animals out in the morning. The skies were beautiful with the twilight colors. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

Also, Rajiv met us before we headed to the airport and gave us some Assam tea powder and a chocolate bar for my son, which showed personal care and a feel good factor.

I would highly recommend Northeast Explorers to anyone who is planning to travel to North Eastern India. They know the places in and out and are very safe to travel with the family in unfamiliar territories.

  Our Meghalaya & Kaziranga Trip  - I recently took the Meghalaya-Kaziranga 6-day package offered by North East Explorers, which was originally a 7-day package but customized by Rajiv to fit our time constraints. It turned out... read more to be one of the most memorable experiences for me and my family.

Our driver, Jammer, drove us comfortably in an Innova and was well-acquainted with all the routes and major spots. While we had to take a detour to visit certain waterfalls like Kiran Suri waterfalls and spots like Bull’s Trek (which incurred some extra charges), the overall experience was smooth. However, I felt the package could have included more prominent spots. For example, in Cherrapunjee, we visited incredible places like the Arwah Caves, Garden of Caves, and some great waterfalls—none of which were originally part of the package. We opted out of the Double Decker Root Bridge trek since my parents would have found it too challenging.

Rajiv, the organizer, was very responsive throughout the trip, frequently checking in to ensure everything was going well. The overall experience was wonderful, and I truly appreciate the effort put into customizing the itinerary for us. If you're planning a trip to Meghalaya and Kaziranga, I would highly recommend North East Explorers based on my experience.
