Fantastic experience traveling with Avani travel services. The owner Sudarshan understand the traveller needs well and personally ensures the experience is kept high at all times, extremely humble and professional. I did a two week NE India wildlife tour with them and Sudarshan was so committed that he made good for a driver who couldn't turn up by offering to travel with me for second half of the tour. He ensured I get good birding guides in all parks to show me around and help identify the birds well. Stay at a private Tea garden was excellent with the owner Sunil taking a great care of the visitors. I Recommended Avani travel Services for NE tours of Solo/family/group travellers, they specialise in both nature tours and cultural tours.

Our trip was a little different to most as I had pre-planned a personalised 13 day tour of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh with hotels and points of interest and asked Grand Eastern Holidays to quote on the total price (including a driver). Although a few of my selected hotels were exchanged with Grand Eastern Holidays preferred choices, the overall quality of hotels and homestays was very good. Raktim contacted us several times during the trip to make sure everything was going well and met us near the end to introduce himself and explain his company. The part that really made the trip special was the driver provided. We have used many drivers across India but Ajay was the best driver we have had. He was always on time and had a great disposition. His driving (through very difficult road and weather conditions) was first class. I would highly recommend Raktim and his team - especially with Ajay as your driver.
