  Ziro Valley  - We recently traveled to Ziro Valley with North East Explorers and had a truly memorable experience. From the moment we were picked up, everything was smooth and well-organized. The taxi... read more was comfortable, and the logistics were handled seamlessly.

What really made the trip special was the local guide arranged by North East Explorers. His knowledge of the valley was remarkable—he seemed to know every hidden path and story. His ability to communicate with both us and the local tribal communities made our experience so much richer and more authentic.

Ziro Valley itself is a place of quiet, untouched beauty. Inspired by the raw charm and serenity of the place, my son wrote this poem after our visit:

"Nestled", shielded, almost like a cocoon.
A butterfly, amongst the woods,
With her raw and tribal charm,
Perched herself on the rotting pine,
Went to sleep for good.

Her beauty unknown,
To scores of perverted eyes,
Who would strip her off her colours and groan,
"She was too simple, she had to die."

Little do they know,
The sun and moon themselves watch over
Their butterflies, grey or gold.
For their charm, raw and tribal,
Will always find solace amongst the bold.

Thank you, North East Explorers, for helping us discover this hidden gem in such a meaningful way. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper, more personal travel experience in the Northeast.

  Arunachal Pradesh family tour  - We travelled with North east explorers to Arunachal Pradesh. Accommodations were clean with bed heaters and room heaters at tawang dondrum homestay and ziro palace inn at ziro valley. All... read more other accomodations were clean too with hot water in the bathrooms. Special thanks to the staff and owner of dondrum homestay for their hospitality. We had a very friendly driver too. Rajiv kept in touch with us during our entire trip to ensure we were comfortable and all was going well

  First time back after 13 years and inclusion of the festival fully guided made for a very enjoyable trip. Thanks Rajiv. - Booked Myoko festival with Rajiv at a late date but a plan was formulated including my preference to be hotel based rather than home stay which was appreciated. To be... read more honest 4 days for the festival was stretching it somewhat but the inclusion of various points of interest around Ziro coupled with guided tours of outlying villages made the trip worthwhile so thanks to Rajiv and the local guides.

First day was a guided social occasion visiting various households where we were always made welcome with plenty of food and hooch on offer but the big event was day 2 which involved a crack of dawn start to witness the soon to be sacrificed hogs being blessed first by priests then by fabulously adorned ladies of Ziro after which the hogs were dispatched to the various owners homes to meet their end after being blessed once more by the priest. The manner in which these beasts are despatched is not for me to criticise but for this ardent traveller no need to be witnessed a second time.

Next day was taking in the various sights and visiting of villages which for the most part were exactly as I recall when I was last in Ziro in 2012. One tip make sure to include the museum in town when visiting as some excellent exhibits of display, entrance free.

  A truly memorable and fantastic tour of Bhutan  - We (my daughter and myself) had a very pleasant and memorable trip to Bhutan ( Pheuntsholing, Thimpu, Punakha and Paro) recently. Thanks to Mr. Rajeev Verma of North East Explorers... read more (NEE) who not only beautifully arranged the entire tour itinerary, hotel stays, food, a dedicated 4WD vehicle with an excellent guide and an efficient driver, etc. as per our requirements. Mr. Verma was also was kind enough to be regularly in touch with us during our entire trip to know how the tour was proceeding. We would certainly like to come back to NEE for another memorable trip with them.

  Seamless & Well-Planned Trip with North East Explorers!  - We had an amazing experience with North East Explorers and would highly recommend their services. Rajiv was very professional and ensured that our trip to North East India was smooth... read more and hassle-free.

From the very beginning, he provided timely updates and kept us informed at every stage of our journey. What stood out the most was the daily check-ins to ensure everything was going as planned and that we were comfortable. Every aspect of the trip was exactly as discussed, and we truly appreciate the attention to detail.

Overall, we are very happy with the services and would definitely choose North East Explorers again for future trips. Thank you, Rajiv, for making our journey so memorable! 😊

  Impressive tour provided by a supportive tour organizer  - One of our most intensive trips we had so far. We booked the 7 days in Meghalaya tour from North East Explorers which guided us to such beautiful places ... read more with impressive view and also allowed us to meet wonderful and also impressive people. It already started with the communication with NE Explorers. Rajiv perfectly supported us from the very beginning, answered all of our questions and finally got us the tailored tour. Our guide Ricky who not only drove us through Assam and Meghgalaya answered all of our questions and made us learning so much about the region and its citizens. We appreciated the flexibility on switching destinations whenever it made sense or add a new target in the region.

The Homestays we spent our nights at were other places to meet friendly and supportive people (and believe me, it was necessary due to some personal issues). And all of them were authentic, clean and spacy stays.

To cut a long story short NE Explorers to me is a clear recommendation when it's about travelling Meghalaya and Assam. I really hope once to have another chance to explore more of this interesting and beautiful region of India.

  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.
