Very good, with one flat day
How little of it was scheduled — we were asked each morning what we felt like. Not perfect — messages before the trip took a day or two to get answered — 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. Not perfect — the Guwahati leg took five hours in traffic and ate most of a day — but it didn't take much away from the rest.
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.
The mechanic who rebuilt a derailleur by torchlight and had us moving by seven. 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.
The riverside camp, where the crew cooked over a fire and nobody touched their phone. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.

The drive out to Dawki, where we were on the water by eight and had it almost to ourselves. Not perfect — rain closed the Nongriat path and we lost the root bridge day entirely — but it didn't take much away from the rest.
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 — rain closed the Nongriat path and we lost the root bridge day entirely — but it didn't take much away from the rest.
Camping above the valley on the second night, which none of us expected to be the high point. Not perfect — the Guwahati leg took five hours in traffic and ate most of a day — 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.
