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.
