Hello Sizra, First of all, thank you so much for the wonderful holiday planning (Read More). It was truly an amazing experience for us. This was our first trip to the North East, and it has now become one of our most memorable and favorite tourist destinations — all because of you and the Hills Dekho team. I would especially like to highlight the driver you arranged for us, *Dipu*. He was absolutely exceptional — extremely polite, professional, and caring throughout the journey. More than a driver, he felt like a family member traveling with us. His driving skills were excellent, and we always felt safe and comfortable on the hilly roads. By the end of the trip, it genuinely felt like we had made a new friend in the North East. The hotels arranged were also fabulous, and everything overall was perfectly managed — truly worth it. A special request from our side: please recommend Dipu for all your North East tours. He is a gem of a person and a big asset to your team. Thank you once again — we really appreciate all the efforts. We will definitely contact only you for our future trips.
