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 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.
The mechanic who rebuilt a derailleur by torchlight and had us moving by seven. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.
Swimming at Rainbow Falls before the day crowd arrived. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.
Swapping the raft for bicycles on day six, which broke up the trip perfectly. 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.
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 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.
Getting to the living root bridge before anybody else was on the path. 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.
Getting to the living root bridge before anybody else was on the path. 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.
