"Exceptional Service from River Journeys India! I'm thrilled to share my outstanding experience with River Journeys India, expertly managed by Mr. Anirudh Das. Our 11-day North East tour package was meticulously planned, with fantastic hotels offering delicious food and courteous staff. A special mention to our vehicle pilot, Mr. Manik Das, who made our journey truly unforgettable.

Kudos to Mr. Anirudh Das and Mr. Manik Das for their invaluable contributions to our tour. Their flawless service has earned my highest recommendation for anyone seeking a North East tour package.

We booked the tour package from anirudha das (Riverjourneysindia) for 7 days of meghalaya and guwahati. Mr. Anuriddha das well organised hotel and car booking. 7 days trip was good because of well org (Read More)anised programme by riverjourneyindia crew members.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback sir

We, the four of us had a very enjoyable n once in a lifetime experience in the above trip, which, was very well planned for us by Mr Anirudh Das, which was exhaustive. The car was good and the driver (Read More) Boro dada was excellent, he, knew the ways, like, the back of his hand! He was courteous n respectful. The driver to Bumla pass, Mr Bema was equally good too. Breakfast n dinner was included in our plan, which, almost in every hotel, we were put up served us to our liking. Thanks to them. Now, coming to the hotels, we were put up in, I would say all were really very good, except for landmark hotel in shillong, which, was pathetic, with broken flooring n very bad housekeeping. The Danang, resort, on a riverbank was altogether a different experience except that there's a long walk, so, it becomes difficult with bags(our bags were carried by the lady employee, we felt bad for her. So, if, the tourist are informed about this n if they have to spend just a night, they can just pack minimum things. Overall, we, enjoyed our trip immensely. Our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Anirudh Das n his associates. Looking forward to next tour...with you. God bless. Drs kumbhats God

We are elderly couples, on recommendation of a relative we booked our trip through River Journeys. I think that was the wise decision. We visited Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh in span of 14 d (Read More)ays. My wife doesn't eat onion and garlic which was informed to them and they in turn informed all places in advance. The car and the driver provided was excellent he didn't had to ask anybody for directions drive directly to hotels. All hotels were near, tidy having good ambiance even in Twang, they provided us with heavy jackets. The hotel in Dirang was situated on river banks and you have to walk on hanging bridge which is a novel experience. Overall the trip has been a memorable for once in life time experience. Thanks Mr Aniruddha for taking all care of us.
