The best trip we've taken
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.

A safety briefing that treated us like adults and was still the most thorough I've had. Not perfect — messages before the trip took a day or two to get answered — 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. Against that, messages before the trip took a day or two to get answered, and for what we paid I'd expect the whole trip to be at the level of its best day.
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.

The mechanic who rebuilt a derailleur by torchlight and had us moving by seven. Not perfect — the hotel on the first night was a clear step below the rest of the trip — 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 mechanic who rebuilt a derailleur by torchlight and had us moving by seven. 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.
Swapping the raft for bicycles on day six, which broke up the trip perfectly. The whole thing was organised without ever feeling packaged, and we were never once left wondering what happened next.
