Our captain made it
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.

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.
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.
A village lunch that wasn't on any itinerary and was the thing we still talk about. 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.
Our permits being sorted before we landed, so we rode on day one instead of queuing. 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 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.
The naturalist, who could name everything and never made us feel slow for asking. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.
An elephant grass drive at last light that felt like the whole reason to come. Not perfect — we did three safaris and saw very little on two of them — but it didn't take much away from the rest.
A safety briefing that treated us like adults and was still the most thorough I've had. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.
The Siang running high enough to be properly exciting without anyone feeling out of their depth. 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 — a permit check held us up for half a day and nobody had warned us it was likely — but it didn't take much away from the rest.
