"Absolutely magical experience! The living root bridges took my breath away. The team arranged everything perfectly and our guide Ram was extremely knowledgeable about local culture and history. The homestay in Mawlynnong was a highlight - so peaceful and the villagers were incredibly welcoming. Will definitely book with North East Travels again!"

"The Dawki boat ride was surreal - the water is so clear that our boat seemed to be floating in air! The trek to the Double Decker bridge was challenging but our guide made sure we were comfortable. Great hotels, delicious local food, and professional service throughout. Highly recommend this package!"
