Mizoram & Tripura Friends renion trip with NE explorers - This reunion of college friends after 36 years was truly special. We booked four months ahead, and Rajiv of NE Explorers kept us updated throughout. The trip went without a... read more single issue. Our driver handled the winding roads with skill, and the guide was helpful and had a good sense of humour. When Lalsuanga was unexpectedly closed due to local issues, Rajiv happily swapped in Sialsuk.
Mizoram's scenery is breathtaking, raw and untouched. Around Aizawl we visited:
Reiek: Spectacular views. Stay options are limited, but we had a fabulous Mizo lunch and cookies near the Govt lodge, plus a cute eatery called Holy Restaurant down the road.
Falkawn: We visited Zokhua, a typical Mizo village. Go on a weekday; weekends have many activities.
Sialsuk: Meadows that remind you of Europe, with stunning views.
Thenzawl: Beautiful waterfalls, and known as the weaving capital of the region.
Rajiv also arranged our train from Sairang to Badarpur Junction, with a night's stay in Silchar, Assam. In Tripura, the huge rock carvings of Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha and other deities at Unakoti were breathtaking in their serene setting. The speedboat ride on the Gomati at Chabimura, with its rock carving of Maa Durga and a small cave to explore, was a highlight. Our sightseeing ended with a local boat ride to Neermahal and a visit to Ujjayanta Palace.
Rajiv was in touch with us at every stage making it stressfree. This made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable, and I highly recommend him for any trip to the Northeast.

  An absolutely wonderful experience with North East Explorers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - An absolutely wonderful experience with North East Explorers!

This was our first trip to Northeast India, and we are so glad that we chose North East Explorers (NEE)... read more for our Meghalaya trip. From the very beginning, the entire trip was thoughtfully planned and well organised, making it a truly hassle-free experience for us.

The itinerary was excellent and covered some amazing places, while still allowing a little flexibility depending on our preferences and the activities we wanted to explore. The car provided was comfortable, and a special mention to our driver, Apu, who was not just an excellent driver but also a great guide. He was extremely helpful, caring, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey.

The stays were nice, clean, and added to the overall experience. One thing to keep in mind is that these are primarily homestays rather than luxury hotels — but that is actually part of what makes the experience special, as you get a much more authentic feel of the region and its people. If you prefer hotels, you can always opt for hotel stays in places like Shillong and Guwahati.

A special shout-out to Rajiv, who stayed in touch with us throughout the trip and constantly checked to make sure everything was going smoothly. What really stood out was the personal touch — he made the effort to meet us on the last day, which we genuinely appreciated. It was a lovely gesture and reflected how personally NEE takes care of its guests.

Overall, North East Explorers made our first Northeast trip memorable, comfortable, and stress-free. We would highly recommend Rajiv and his team to anyone planning to explore this beautiful part of India.

Looking forward to many more such trips with Rajiv and the NEE team!

  Simply Bhutan - simply beautiful! By NE Explorers  - At the outset, I was a bit unsure of the trip as it was my first solo trip.

Simply Bhutan is simply beautiful Thanks to the NE explorers team.

We had a gifted driver and guide in Pranjalji and we had a lot of fun with him. The whole process, right from booking through to goodbyes, was super smooth and I would any day book my NE trip again with Rajiv and team.
The homestays collection is great but we thought it could benefit from a few premium options. Nonetheless, the homestays are very accommodating and supportive and it is amazing to live with them and learn their ways.
Thumbs up and look forward to booking my next trip soon.

  A group tour that felt private  - Unforgettable Northeast India Experience with Northeast Explorers
I joined Northeast Explorers for a two-week tour through Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh in December 2025, including the Hornbill Festival. I was apprehensive... read more about doing a group trip, since I
Like to do solo or do Private tours. This turned out to be one of the best travel experiences I’ve had.

Rajiv put together an itinerary that balanced the energy of the festival with the quieter, more remote stretches of Arunachal beautifully. The logistics across some genuinely challenging terrain were handled seamlessly — vehicles, permits, accommodations, local guides — none of it ever felt rushed or chaotic. These would have been nearly impossible to
pull off on my own.

What stood out most was Rajiv’s deep knowledge of the region and his connections with the local communities. We got access and cultural insight that no standard tour would offer. When I felt unwell during the Nagaland leg, he went out of his way to track down a local doctor for me — a small thing on paper, but in a remote part of the country it meant a lot, and it told me everything about how he runs his trips.
Highly recommend Northeast Explorers for anyone considering this part of India. Rajiv is the real deal. Thank you for an amazing two weeks.
