Travelling back to Assam and Meghalaya after eight years, this time with a group of friends from Kochi, was for us at once a homecoming and a rediscovery. Curated and executed efficiently by the team at ChaloHoppo, we had a varied and packed 11-day itinerary of personalized, off-beat, immersive travel experiences. We trekked to waterfalls, manoeuvred over root bridges, walked reverentially through sacred groves, explored ancient caves filled with fossils, waded through crystal clear lakes, and safari-ed in Kaziranga where wild elephants, hog and swamp deer, and the magnificent one-horned rhino made their appearance. The food was great everywhere, roadside dhabas, local restaurants, and village homes, and our stays ranged from heritage cottages to a superbly appointed tea garden bungalow where bird calls filled the lush gardens. It’s impossible to say which experience was most memorable: a sunset cruise on the Brahmaputra, the heart-stopping beauty of Lake Umiam, the unembarrassed beauty of wild ferns and orchids, or the sweet fizz of chilled rice beer on a cloudless day. This was a special trip, woven with landscapes and memories that are part of who we have become.

I am truly delighted with my experience traveling to Meghalaya with Chalohoppo. The entire trip was well coordinated and nothing short of perfect. From the initial planning stages, the team was highly flexible in accommodating our preferences while curating the itinerary. We received timely updates and helpful guidance on what to carry and expect each day, which made the journey smooth and stress free. Additionally, heartfelt thanks to our local guides Alex, Wengston, Sarky and Ivan who were warm, knowledgeable and took the time to explain the rich culture and heritage of the region. Chalohoppo exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore the Northeast with an authentic and well-organised travel experience.

The nature's beauty cannot be embraced without the support of the locals. ChaloHoppo was magnificent in their reception, building up the itinerary and flexible to our needs during our trip to Meghalaya. Our 4 day trip was not sufficient to explore much. Nevertheless , we had splendid time and will carry a big bag of memories . We will certainly approach you for our next visit . Thank you for making this tour seamless . Special Thanks to Pritika for constant monitoring and updates. A big thanks to the entire team of ChaloHoppo. Including a pic of one of my poems written on the whispers of Meghalaya.
