A Memorable trip with Nexplore
We went for Darjeeling Sikkim Meghalaya 11 days 12 nights trip which was organised and Managed by Nexplore.
The kind of itinerary which I was looking for was not readily available with tour operator. The closest one which I found was with Nexplore. They customized the trip for us. When the trip started I was little sceptical as I was travelling with 4 senior citizens aged 68 to 71 yrs...

Lovely experience for me and my family.
We did a 10 day tour with my parents visiting Kaziranga, Tawang, Meghalaya in our trip. Mr. Manash who was our point of contact from Nexplore is a very polite gentleman who made this awesome trip possible. He helped us design a custom itinerary suiting our schedule and booked excellent accommodations.
The overall experience with Nexplore was awesome and their rates are also very reasonable....

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.
Joynath, our driver, was great at driving in India's busy streets and made us feel safe.
We had a wonderful time and think Nexplore is the best choice for anyone who wants a fun trip without any worries. We give Nexplore five stars!

Beautiful, flexible and fun
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. Our trip to Kaziranga was perfect and we only wish we could have had more days to the 5 day trip

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, Anu 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. Our drive Saikia was fantastic. He made sure that everything was OK without any problems. I would recommend NExplore Travel and would certainly travel with them again.

Keep up the good work !
We went on an 8-day trip to Kaziranga and Meghalaya, and it was amazing. Nexplore arranged everything perfectly. Our driver, Krishna, was always punctual, which helped us explore all the places. His driving skills were fabulous, and we didn't face any issues during the trip.
I wish all the best to the entire team to arrange the memorable trip for me. Keep up the good work. All the best.

wonderful trip
My husband and I went on an offbeat tour in Meghalaya for 5 days. We visited the Double Decker root bridge, Phe Phe falls, Krang Shuri falls, Shnongpdeng village, and many other hidden waterfalls in Cherrapunji. We had a great time! The water activities and camping at Shnongpdeng village were so much fun! Thank you to the team for such a well-planned tour. All the best and lots of love from us.
