Mr. Anuriddha das well organised hotel and car booking. 7 days trip was good because of well org (Read More)anised programme by riverjourneyindia crew members.

Trip to Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal pradesh

(Written on 29 Mar, 2023)

We, the four of us had a very enjoyable n once in a lifetime experience in the above trip, which, was very well planned for us by Mr Anirudh Das, which was exhaustive. The car was good and the driver (Read More) Boro dada was excellent, he, knew the ways, like, the back of his hand! He was courteous n respectful. The driver to Bumla pass, Mr Bema was equally good too. Breakfast n dinner was included in our plan, which, almost in every hotel, we were put up served us to our liking. Thanks to them. Now, coming to the hotels, we were put up in, I would say all were really very good, except for landmark hotel in shillong, which, was pathetic, with broken flooring n very bad housekeeping. The Danang, resort, on a riverbank was altogether a different experience except that there's a long walk, so, it becomes difficult with bags(our bags were carried by the lady employee, we felt bad for her. So, if, the tourist are informed about this n if they have to spend just a night, they can just pack minimum things. Overall, we, enjoyed our trip immensely. Our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Anirudh Das n his associates. Looking forward to next tour...with you. God bless. Drs kumbhats God

Fantastic trip

We are elderly couples, on recommendation of a relative we booked our trip through River Journeys. I think that was the wise decision. We visited Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh in span of 14 d (Read More)ays. My wife doesn't eat onion and garlic which was informed to them and they in turn informed all places in advance. The car and the driver provided was excellent he didn't had to ask anybody for directions drive directly to hotels. All hotels were near, tidy having good ambiance even in Twang, they provided us with heavy jackets. The hotel in Dirang was situated on river banks and you have to walk on hanging bridge which is a novel experience. Overall the trip has been a memorable for once in life time experience. Thanks Mr Aniruddha for taking all care of us.

Mr Aniruddh Das of River Journeys organised tour to Kaziranga and Meghalaya for our group of eight. Aniruddh is a very experienced tour organiser and within a span of a few discussions he judged the k (Read More)ind of experience we would prefer. He organised our itinerary accordingly. It was very difficult to get rooms during the peak tourist season but he managed to get us hotel accommodation at good hotels within the quoted budget. He even got us a room upgrade at La Nicholas hotel without charging extra amount. We made a last minute change in Zone at Kaziranga National park. This would cost an extra amount but Aniruddh mase arrangements for this without any hesitation and did not charge any extra amount. He permitted us to add extra pick up and drop during living roots bridge trek, again without any additional cost. Breakfast and dinner was included in our package and food quality was very good at all the hotels. He gave us a spacious vehicle and a good driver. Our itinerary was organised perfectly and we managed to visit all the attractions at ease. We had a great time on this tour and would like to thank River Journeys and Aniruddh for the same. I would strongly recommend River Journeys if you are seeking a tour organiser for a vacation at Assam or Meghalaya. Dr Shailesh Parmar Orthopaedic Surgeon Mira Road, Thane, Maharashtra

Hello, We booked River Journeys for around 6 days trip with 1 Day in Guwahati and rest others in and around Meghalaya. Firstly, the driver is experienced and drives with care. The only concern was the (Read More) language, but with little English we can adjust with the locals. Additionally, the accommodation choices are based on the budget and ours were decent and great. Moreover, the agents were supportive and understood our concern whenever we had any problem with anything. We recommend River side for your next journey.
