Exactly what we'd hoped for
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.

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. 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.
How little of it was scheduled — we were asked each morning what we felt like. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.

The mechanic who rebuilt a derailleur by torchlight and had us moving by seven. Against that, a permit check held us up for half a day and nobody had warned us it was likely, and for what we paid I'd expect the whole trip to be at the level of its best day.
Our permits being sorted before we landed, so we rode on day one instead of queuing. Against that, the Guwahati leg took five hours in traffic and ate most of a day, and for what we paid I'd expect the whole trip to be at the level of its best day.
Riding out of Ziro with a support van that turned up exactly where it said it would. Against that, the hotel on the first night was a clear step below the rest of the trip, and for what we paid I'd expect the whole trip to be at the level of its best day.
Swimming at Rainbow Falls before the day crowd arrived. Not perfect — messages before the trip took a day or two to get answered — but it didn't take much away from the rest.
