We wanted to do a family summer vacation and picked Arunachal Pradesh as a destination. After doing some research we found Grand Eastern Holidays that had some very good packages. Upon contacting them (Read More) via their website we got a call from Raktim who would be taking care of our trip from start to end. We were given a clear break down of the days where we will be and also given options for which car to pick. Overall the package for 7 days was great. At the airport we were picked up by a great driver who would be driving with us for the next 7 days. Also Raktim was available on the phone for any questions etc. He was very knowledgeable about the local places, people and cuisine. First day was our drive to Nameri National park. The hotel was great and we were taken through the forest by an armed guard. We saw a few animals and the kids were very excited with the boat ride across to the forest. Next stop was Dirang where we again stayed at a great hotel with a great view and good food. Next to the hotel was kiwi orchards and some vegetable farm. We saw a few sites such as Mandala top and a monastery. After that we went to Tawang where we saw the 400yr old monastery. There were beautiful stops along the way such as Sela Pass, Jaswantgarh, Nuraneng falls and Bomdilla. The last stay was at Shergaon where we stayed at a farmstay. This place was a true gem as we were told. Our room was a duplex with an upstairs where the kids stayed and they loved the place. There was a small apple orchard there and a stream nearby which had trout. The trout caught from the stream was cooked for dinner. The roads through Arunachal are not for the faint of heart but the driver was extremely careful driving. Overall the Grand Eastern Holiday package was great with a wonderful agent who also called us after the trip to ask for feedback on how to improve. Considering all the factors and the fact that Arunachal’s tourist infrastructure is still developing ; highly recommend this company.
