Two nights in a Nongriat homestay where the food was better than anything we ate in Shillong. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.

Thank you Karan — I've passed this on to the crew, who will be very pleased. Come back in the dry months and we'll show you the stretch we didn't have time for.
The walk down to the double-decker root bridge, which our captain paced so we stopped where we wanted rather than where the schedule said. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.
Two nights in a Nongriat homestay where the food was better than anything we ate in Shillong. Not perfect — messages before the trip took a day or two to get answered — but it didn't take much away from the rest.

Getting to the living root bridge before anybody else was on the path. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.

How little of it was scheduled — we were asked each morning what we felt like. Not perfect — there were two more people in the group than we'd been told to expect — but it didn't take much away from the rest.

Thanks Tanvi. Noted on what could have been better; we've already moved that leg earlier in the day for future groups.
Getting to the living root bridge before anybody else was on the path. Against that, so little was fixed that some days drifted, which won't suit everyone, and for what we paid I'd expect the whole trip to be at the level of its best day.

Appreciated, Shruti. We've taken the point about pacing and have cut one drive out of this itinerary entirely.
The drive out to Dawki, where we were on the water by eight and had it almost to ourselves. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.

A village lunch that wasn't on any itinerary and was the thing we still talk about. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.

Thank you for being straight with us, Ritu. You're right that the trip wasn't level throughout, and we're rebuilding that middle section for the coming season.
