Wonderful journey in Meghalaya
"We went on a 7 days tour in Meghalaya with Nexplore Travel. Our stay at Shillong was amazing, it was a vintage homestay, it is exactly what we wanted. Our driver Joy was very helpful, he took us to many places, especially a bamboo decorated restaurant in Cherrapunji, which we like most. Our double-decker root bridge trek was wonderful. As a whole, it was a memorable trip. Many thanks to team Nexplore for organizing such a wonderful trip."

Amazing Trip with Nexplore Travel
We did 15 days tribal tour in Northeast India with Nexplore. Our trip was amazing. Anushila, who helped us plan, was very good at answering our questions and making sure our trip was just what we wanted.
Once we began our journey, we were lucky to have Manash as our guide. He took excellent care of us, making sure everything went smoothly.

Assam at its best
We went to 5 days Assam tour with Nexplore. We booked this trip last minute (~week prior) and were immediately helped with scheduling tours of the Kaziranga park and major attractions. Anushila picked us up at the airport in the most welcoming way. They adjusted the tour for our requests to see a tea plantation and the city where most silk production occurs, Sualkuchi. Both of these were excellent additions and allowed us to witness the strength and beauty in Assamese craft.

It was great all around
My son and I had a great wildlife trip in Northeast India organized by Nexplore Travel. In Assam we went to four National Parks. We saw elephants, rhinos, water buffalo, monkeys etc. It was great all around. Our driver was perfect. Flawless travel. Places we stayed were excellent and the food was incredible.
I encountered some trouble myself health wise and these guys helped me to solve that problem. We would definitely come back and see more of the Northeast India.

Our trip was great
"We have just returned from a 7 days family trip to Assam Meghalaya with Nexplore Travel. As we have two kids we were worried for them initially but our trip was perfect. When we were planning the trip, Anushila was fantastic in helping us customise the trip to our requirements and suggesting different options.
We went to a few offbeat waterfalls in Meghalaya and the team is being happy to suggest different options and to be flexible. They also suggest the best places where we can travel safely with kids. I would recommend NExplore Travel and would certainly travel with them again."
