ast. Bumla pass and Tawang

es were best

ent- Driver should be made aware of the entire itenary and should be agreed before the trip to cover places to avoid any confussion later. 1. Stay @Tawang didn't had good meal prepared, taste was very basic and priced double of the normal price.

red. We had to personally request hotel and wait for almost an hour. Only regular follow up happened for balance payment. We have never been to Meghalaya in the past but what we felt itinerary provided could been better

lace to be . Surrounded by nature everywhere and waterfalls everywhere. Gr8 trip !!

n offered something unique and breathtaking. We felt safe, relaxed, and completely immersed in the culture and beauty of the place. Highly recommended and special thanks to Prabhat Singh who has helped in planning this trip for us.

ble, and our initial driver, Ashok, was friendly and courteous. The hotel at Bhalukpong was adequate for an overnight stay, although we did face some issues with the bathroom's water supply, and one of the rooms did not have a functioning geyser. Additionally, dinner service was delayed by approximately an hour and a half from the requested time. The next day, we were introduced to our new driver, Sofikul. Initially, there was a language barrier, but it was eventually resolved, and we had a pleasant experience with him. The homestay in Dirang was excellent. In Tawang, the hotel offered good amenities; however, we were surprised to find that tea was charged separately despite the breakfast being complimentary. In Bomdila, the accommodation was cozy and served the purpose for a one-night stay. Overall, we had a good experience over the six-day trip. However, there were a few concerns that we would like to highlight: Upon our arrival, when we inquired with Ashok about the travel time to Kamakhya, his first question was, “Do you have Kamakhya on your itinerary?” This raised concerns, as we expected the drivers to be well-versed with the itinerary beforehand. A similar situation occurred the next day with Sofikul, who also seemed unaware of the planned route and sites. As a result, we missed our first scheduled stop at Orchid Garden in Tippi. Additionally, we took an incorrect route to reach our homestay in Dirang due to a misunderstanding, as the driver had been initially informed that it was the correct path. While the next two days proceeded smoothly, Day 6 presented another issue. Our itinerary included visits to Kameng Valley and the Bhutan border. However, no local residents, including our driver, appeared to be familiar with Kameng Valley, and we were unable to visit it. Later, we were informed that we would travel to Tezpur, where Ashok would rejoin us and accompany us to Guwahati. This change in the plan was unexpected, and it seemed to us that there was a lack of internal communication regarding the route. Sofikul mentioned he could have taken the Shergaon route if needed, but it was evident that he preferred the Tezpur route, which unfortunately led to us missing another destination. As compensation, we were told we could visit two other temples, but Ashok mentioned that one was located within Guwahati city and not feasible due to time constraints. He was also hesitant about visiting the second temple, but upon our insistence, we managed to go there. Lastly, on April 12th, I reached out to our trip manager, Pravin. He informed me that he was on leave and provided the contact details of Nikita, who was indeed very helpful. However, it would have been appreciated if this had been communicated proactively, as we respect the importance of personal time and would have avoided disturbing him unnecessarily. In conclusion, while we genuinely enjoyed the trip and the beautiful locations, there were several instances of miscommunication between the agency and the drivers. Addressing these gaps in coordination would greatly enhance the overall experience for future travelers. Travel to Bumla pass.

ue to communication challenges with the driver, 2. The Dawki accommodation was terrible, and it didn't match what was shared with me, 3. I was told that April is the best month to visit, but it's not, 4. Dawki is best in December, I feel that we could have spent more time in Cherrapunji or Shillong , 5. The trip in itself was hectic due to cab travel and every day change to a different hotel, it would have been better if we stayed more than one night.

d this team. The tour agent partner Sizra khan was very helpful and supportive. Appreciate the support and help. It is really important to plan a good trip. 5 stars. All Meghalaya is beautiful

ery knowledgeable about the area. Will surely come back in the future.

was superb , our stay there was extremely enjoyable. The second resort that was booked was the Ka Bri War resort near Dawki which was actually just a hotel and no resort like amenities in it yet . It was just ok . The third resort that was booked was the Roinam retreat which was extremely disappointing for the price that we paid to the travel agency. The wooden floors had nails that had come out at few places , the shower head not functioning properly, the shower curtain was dirty , the swimming pool not cleaned and maintained. The food was good though , the staff were polite . There was a leaflet in the room that the guest will be charged 150 rupees for the hand towel and 500 rupees for the bath towel if missing from room and if anything damaged the guest is responsible which was disturbing . The driver was good and polite . We felt that we ourselves could have done much better than what the travel agency did for the price we paid to them .
