Great trip, small niggles
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.

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.
Swapping the raft for bicycles on day six, which broke up the trip perfectly. Not perfect — messages before the trip took a day or two to get answered — 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. 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. 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.
An elephant grass drive at last light that felt like the whole reason to come. 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, 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.
Riding out of Ziro with a support van that turned up exactly where it said it would. 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.
Swimming at Rainbow Falls before the day crowd arrived. 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.
Camping above the valley on the second night, which none of us expected to be the high point. 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.
The hotel on the first night was a clear step below the rest of the trip, and we were told about it far too late to plan around. Camping above the valley on the second night, which none of us expected to be the high point was genuinely good, which made the rest more frustrating.
