It all started when I initially booked my tickets for Guwahati in the month of January for my travel between 1 April to 9 April. Initially I wanted to go for Meghalaya and that is when I approached Bikramjit from TripNortheast for a customized itenarary. After a lot of detailed discussions we decided to change the destination to Arunachal since the timing would be much better. Right from the beginning the experience with Bikramjit has been very pleasant. The trip was also planned perfectly and he fulfilled all the promises and we had a beautiful and memorable experience. Now really looking forward to Meghalaya trip sometime this year or next with him. Thank you Bikramjit and Arindam for providing a great experience

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.
