Get Charmed By Bewitching North-East India 13 Days & 12 Nights

We did a 14 days trip with Indeman Travel in November 2022. Pre-sales experience was good. The itenary shared was good ensuring the places we wanted to visit were covered and was not hectic. They customize it 3-4 times to accommodate the changes we requested. The option to make payment in multiple installments helped easy the cashflow. Car and hotels* provided were as per the details shared by them. Car and driver: We requested for innova and got the same. It was in good condition, clean and comfortable. Driver was polite, punctual, accomodative, knew the route, places to visit, information about them, restaurants and eateries. Since we were vegetarian he tried his best to take us for pure veg restaurants wherever he can. Food: During out 14 days trip, we got delicious veg food except for just one night at Cherapunji. Hotels: Hotels is where we faced certain issues. The hotels and room catagory were what was informed, but: 1. Deluxe rooms in North East means Standard room at other places. We were not aware about it till we got there. So if you plan to visit Northeast ensure you go for Super Delux or Execute or above. At Shillong (hotel Boulevard) we had to pay for room upgrade as the Delux room was vere small and there was no dedicated parking of the hotel. Good part: The hotel was located right at the Police Bazar and seemed like an actual 3 star hotel. Cherapunji the hotel restaurant was under renovation which we didn't knew before and considering its pretty cold and everything closes early we faced certain challenge with food here. Kaziranga hotel Bagori Resort was Least liked by us someother better hotel could have been offered. It seemed like it was still under construction, the mattress was smelling. Good part, it was few minutes drive from the jeep safari point and food was delicious. Itanagar hotel Cygnett Inn trends was the best hotel in the entire trip. Dirang hotel Dirang boutique cottage you must ensure you stay here. Ziro (Siiro resort) a wooden log hotel was a very good stay experience. Tawang hotel Zambala where we stayed 3 night was nice and the staff was also quite helpful especially with helping with hot water since it would take forever for the gyser to heat the water during the extreme cold. The food was good and you must try the black tea they make. Sightseeing & local visit experience: The views during our entire trip were absolutely breathtaking, locals are really friendly. They know and speak hindi which was a plus. No one would pursuade or irritate you. The Sightseeing places where realky beautiful, well kept and clean. War Memorials are really well kep, informative and the army personals help you know better about it. You must visit the Laser show at Tawang war memorial. At Bumlaa pass the army personal would take you till 10 meters from the LAC and give detailed information about the history and significance. Over all we really enjoyed our trip. Good: Very beautiful locations, breathtaking views, friendly people, delicious food. Could have been better: hotels

Overall: 4.8/5 An extremely enjoyable and unique experience - Reify stands by its name of delivering breathtaking experiences for travellers without any compromise. They made no excuses and never once in the trip did we ever feel disappointed with the choices that they had made for us in travel planning. I have rarely worked with such genuine, well understanding, well planned and highly reliable travel agents in the past. However, do note that it comes with a caveat of premium costs - even before the trip and through the journey, it was quite clear to me that the trip cost was possibly the highest vs any other agent. Hotel -   4.5 /5Nikitha had booked the choicest and best hotels for the trip - during the trip we realised that a lot of these hotels are not available online at all or are in such high demand that they need to be booked over 6 months in advance, but Nikitha ensured she gave us those hotels even though our trip was planned only 1 month in advance. After conversations with others who have done a trip on the same route, I have realised we had some of the absolute best hotels and we would have missed out on some outstanding experiences had it not been for these hotels/stays. Only Betelnut Resort in Dawki was an issue where it was really hot and I had trouble sleeping at night because of the heat. The service in Betelnut Resort was also subpar with an incident of bad behaviour by staff and then forgetfulness regarding orders and late breakfast. Cab -.      5/5The cab was very spacious and well maintained. The driver Jagadish was great, no fuss and on best behaviour and we developed a good camaraderie in the trip. As a suggestion, it would have been better if the cab was equipped with sun shades since a lot of travelling was during daytime.  Agent     5/5 Nikitha Chauhan is amazing to work with - she planned our trip very meticulously after understanding our requirements and ensured she covered the right locations, experiences and hotels. She knew the route inside out sitting in Delhi! Nikitha was so genuine that many a times in the planning stage, despite our request for a higher cost hotel, she would ask us to pick a lower cost one because she knew it offerred a better experience, and guess what, she was right every time! During the trip as well, she called us every alternate day to ensure the trip is going fine and that there are no issues.
