Shillong Friends Packages

We had great time at Meghalaya. Eventhough we had requested for an English speaking driver as per request for the trip, we were provided with a driver who doesn't know English. But we could manage somehow with him in Hindi. The hotel at Shillong was very good compared to other hotel/resort. Eventhough parking was included in the itinerary, in many places in Meghalaya, this fees is mentioned as Entry fee and hence we were forced to pay for the Entry/parking fees for the vehicle. Even in few places it was mentioned as parking fees, we were paying for that too. We had taken CPAI plan. So we were ready to pay for our meals for lunch and dinner. But the restaurants that we were taken to have food were overpriced with respect to the quantity of food we received, even though the food was good. Boat ride in Dawki river and Canyon view points

The hotel accommodations were good. All the places we covered - Kaziranga, Dawki, Cherrapunji and Shillong were good! Shillong itenary surely reminds of viewing the 'Scotland of the East'! Spectacular! For trips in the East, it would be good to factor the early sunset, long distances you need to travel and waiting time (places like Kamakya Temple) while planning the itenary. We had to skip lunches for continuous 3 days to ensure itenary is completed. We had to skip Orchid Gardens, Umiyam Lake and Kamakya temple which could have been avoided.

Stay was good except for Iamanlong Resort in Shillong. Driver was good, but inexperienced. That's still okay. The company he worked for didn't fill petrol in bulk and every morning we had to wait at petrol pump as the owner would directly send the money to the petrol pump qr code and then the petrol would be filled. That was nuisance. Travel agent was good. Almost all our need were accounted to. But giving a different stay in Shillong just for one day was not acceptable. The places are surreal

We had a very nice trip to Assam and Meghalaya with travel triangle- Indeman travels. It was very well organised and the driver Mr Jitendar Das was very good and covered all places in itenary. We had a very good time. Only hotel in Shillong could have been better

We experienced a great enjoy throughout the trip to Shillong and Cherapunji. Both the hotels at Shillong and Cherapunji was located at excellent place. I also appreciate about the cab driver and also the cab condition. Thank you for providing us a memorable trip.

North East We travelled to shillong and Cherrapunje 14th September 2024 to 18th September. Mr. Sunny had planned very well, and supported us in all aspects. He customized our trip as per our request and continuously followed us regarding the trip. The driver also such a nice person who cooperated with us very well and showed all the places as per itinerary. This is our second trip through Travel Triangle and hereafter we will travel through this only and also suggests/ recommends our friends and families to plan through travel triangle only..... Thanks Mr. Sunny!!

Hi.. I am grateful to travel triangle for making my dream come true. It was a nice customized trip plan for shillong which I enjoyed thoroughly with my family. The cab driver was very professional and summed up as our local guide too..sight seeing went according to the itinerary..stay at shillong was good.. we were not happy with our stay at Cherrapunji as we had asked for a room for 2adults n 1kid...the room provided was too small with a small bed.no extra mattress given for kid even after requesting..other than this everything went off well..our travel agent was good enough to take care of our needs..but he didn't answer back our calls on the last day when we desperately wanted to change our hotel..that was a part of our experience...next time we prefer to have better experience with travel triangle. Thankyou and regards, Dr.Aditi Bose.

Trip was very good and enjoyable. Cab and driver also good and quite cooperative. Support from the travel agent, Indeman travels was quite good. Most of the hotels were good. However, we faced a problem in hotel Stream side Cottage at Mawlynnong where our booking was given away to other people and we were denied the rooms in the hotel. We had to call Indeman travels several times and finally after 3 hrs of struggle we were provided some alternative rooms in another location by the Manager of the hotel. The behaviour of the hotel Manager was very good as he made the alternative arrangements and served the dinner there. Also, in the itenerary, the booking for the 2nd and 5th night was at Treetops Residency at Shillong. On the 5th night when we arrived at Treetops Residency to our utter surprise we found that there is no booking in our name in this hotel. We I called Indeman Travels they informed that our booking was at another hotel, La Castle. However this was not clearly mentioned in the itenerary nor this information was given to the driver. Hence we had to once again pack our luggages and go to hotel La Castle. Apart from the above the trip was quite enjoyable. Indeman travels coordinator, Mr. Gaurav Pandey was also very supportive and helpful. The waterfalls, Roots bridge and the scenic beauty was exotic and memorable. The River Brahmaputra cruise was also quite enjoyable.

Hello Travel Triangle team, First of all, thanks for organizing blissful journey with my family, which we all had enjoyed a lot. Kudos to the team!!! Below are pros and cons which I like to highlight for reference. 1. Our travel agent was Akhilesh Srivastava from Indeman Travel, who managed our trip well enough and handled few hiccups very efficiently. 2. Cab drivers, Yassih Adohc for Gangtok and Musaddik Alom for Assam and Meghalaya, both had done a tremendous job and took us to every tourist place as per the itinerary on time. Thanks a lot to both guys. 3. Hotels were good enough for night stay, mostly with no issues. 4. Pickup-drops were done on time, no issues in that. Special mention - "Musaddik Alom" helped us in reaching hospital with our kid in shillong. My kid fell down in shillong Hotel room and got hurt. He also managed to complete the itineries along with the hospital. special thanks to the driver. 5. Hotel Kaso in Gangtok was good however it seems like property being managed by inexperienced staff, as I was traveling with my 3 years old kid and there was requirement of milk, at first instance they didn`t respond positively (could be issue of language barrier) and told us that there was no availability of milk however after Akhilesh intervention, they provided us milk. When we asked for tea in room service at 6:30 pm, someone said from reception "abhi to dinner banna start ho gaya hai Gas khali nahi hai". this is not acceptable. if you have a hotel with so many floors and rooms, you need to equip your kitchen with multiple stoves. Food quality was so-so, the servers were courteous however some of the food items were not hot like poha was served cold which became hard, upma was dry and could have been cooked more. Kindly arrange hotels which has microwave to serve hot food and provides milk facility specially when there is a travelling family with Kid. 6. We stayed at La-Castle in Shillong and had a great experience over there with no issues. 7. La Kuper Inn at cherrapungi was not good enough, things were limited due to remote place which is fine for us, however staff doesn`t seem to care much about guest instructions as I explained them in advance, in written and verbal instruction both that to make a dish without onion-garlic for my father at dinner however they skipped the instructions and in the end my father ate chapatis without any curry/dish, it was disappointing for us and made the stay uncomfortable. Breakfast was late, food was below average and our driver didnt got food and water in the washroom. At last, the driver "Musaddik Alom" left without breakfast and bath. Not recommend at all. Also, in one of the bathroom (Room no 9), there was issue of water clogging. During bath, the water was getting filled in the bathroom. 8. Riwar Cottage was good, food options were limited and amenities like wifi, tv was not available due to remote village location, however it was fine. Staff was courteous and services were provided on time efficiently. 9. Arna Residency at Guwahati was good for stay, no issues here. however one thing I would to inform that staff needs some more training about how to behave with guests specially senior citizens. After check-in, my father asked for 4 cups of tea to be served in room, but the staff in reception said "72 rs ki hai ek chai". We didnt asked for the rate, it was weird for us however we ignored it. 10. Two hiccups were there during check-ins, when we reached La-castle and Arna residency, we were informed that our booking was not confirmed, however it was resolved by Akhilesh at that time. Hotel management informed us that "the bookings are being made on spot. In case, no rooms were available, what you would have done, Sir?" I would like to mention here that in such case we would have been sent to another hotel which is not good. The hotels should be always pre-booked. so that the tourists dont need to wait. Few Pros: 1) La-castle food was great for us. they followed all the instructions perfectly. 2) Riwar cottage provided all the facility they had on time. their behaviour is phenomenal as they were always responding with a smiling face. 3) Both the drivers were great. Overall trip was good and we enjoyed a lot, Thanks to the Indeman Travel and Travel Triangle team once again.

Coming from the west (Australia), the pollution and garbage in India quite confronting; despite repeated visits. The poor air quality and piles of plastic everywhere is disheartening. Meghalaya is cleaner than many other parts of India but it won’t last long at the current rate. Our driver was a delightful man but we had to iron out some issues with punctuality and driving safety. Perhaps I misunderstood some of the arrangements, but I was surprised I needed to explain the itinerary to the driver. I was also surprised to be constantly spending on tickets to access all the so-called included sightseeing, as well as fees for parking and for bringing a camera etc. it adds up over the week. It might be a normal Indian thing but I would have expected the included itinerary to be already paid for. My advice would be to do your research. I was unaware the walk to the double decker bridge involved 7500 steps down and back up again! Stunning though and a very popular trek. It was quite an effort on a hot day. The bamboo trek was also arduous but spectacular and highly recommended. Surprisingly we started and finished the bamboo trek from Shillong when we had already travelled that route earlier. We could have stayed at a homestay in a nearby village and avoided all that time travelling back and forth. Especially since driving in and around Shillong is like being in one giant traffic jam. I don’t mean to sound negative. I actually had a very enjoyable trip. Meghalaya a beautiful place to visit, especially when out of the built up areas. Bamboo trek, visiting the local markets. The beautiful Khasi people. The magnificent and ancient root bridges is several places.
