WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK SHILLONG & CHERRAPUNJI PACKAGE?
If this is your question, then NatureWings suggest you to book your Shillong Cherrapunji Package Tour during Monsoon Season. Monsoon in Cherrapunji and Mawsinram is a kind of different from any other part of India. You may heard of Kerala Monsoon as it gets the very first shower of the season with heavy downpour, but Mawsinram in the state of Meghalaya holds the Guinness Book of World Records for being the wettest place on the earth as it receives the maximum amount of average rainfall in a year - around 11,871mm. So you might want to experience it, right!
In monsoon, Cherapunji & Mawsynrum have its own distinctive charm that you cannot behold and experience in other season. During monsoon it turns into a paradise with fresh lush greenery, lakes with full brink, and live gorgeous waterfalls. It is best time for honeymooners, adventure lovers and for those who love rain, specially want to watch raining sitting by the window for whole day. Nothing can compare to the feeling that comes from sipping a cup of warm tea or coffee while listening to the songs of rains as rainfall in Mawsynram is deafeningly loud. After all rain has its own beauty and charm that brings life in to active mode. So do the travellers. If you want to explore rain washed Shillong Cherapunji and Mawsynrum, book your Shillong Cherrapunji tour package at discounted price from NatureWings Holidays between July to September. Believe me, it will be your lifetime experience.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL KAZIRANGA?
Winter is the best time to visit Kaziranga National Park. During winter i.e. anytime between ends of November to first week of April you can travel Kaziranga. Winter in North East begins in early November and goes till end of March. The winters in these regions are soothing and travel friendly. The temperature in Kaziranga during this winter ranges from 24 degrees Celsius maximum to 6 degrees Celsius minimum. The long stretched vast swampy land of Kaziranga among winter mist appears majestic when you roam about this wonderland on an elephant safari. Exploring Kaziranga is best on elephant back as it don't follow any fixed path and takes you through some of the places where jeep cannot reach. Jeep Safari during winter holidays is also wonderful. Book an open hood jeep and explore some of the best ranges which offer majestic wildlife of Kaziranga from a close distance. Though Jeep safari can be little bit dusty but enjoyable.
Summer is also a good time to explore Kaziranga, but hot and humid temperature and make you uncomfortable. Monsoon is not the ideal time to book any Kaziranga Package as this vast open land receives plenty of rains and every year gets flooded by mighty Brahmaputra River. Human and wild life becomes standstill during monsoon. So it is better to avoid Kaziranga tour plan between first of June to end of September.

We visited North East, mainly Kaziranga and Shillong, Cherapunji with NatureWings in last December with my family and friends. We were looking for the North East Package Tour in internet and got the NatureWings name along with few others. After going through their numerous reviews and their proposal we found they are the best specialist company for North East Package. After Availing their service, we are very happy and fully confident that we have chosen the right partner for North East Tour. In our group, we have 3 families with 4 kids and kids were particularly excited about the Kaziranga Jungle Safari to see the One-Horn rhino from the stone throwing distance. Our tour started from Guwahati and first we visited Kaziranga National Park. In Kaziranga Western Range, we took the early morning Kaziranga Elephant Safari. It was an amazing experience as through elephant safari in Kaziranga Western range, we went to very close to the One-horn Rhino teams. In the afternoon we went to Kaziranga Central Range for the Kaziranga Jeep Safari. In the open hood Jeep, we entered into the central range, which is consists of mainly tall grass and we could locate Rhinos from little bit distance. Our Kids were extremely happy to enjoy the both Kajiranga Jungle Safari. From Kaziranga we went to shilong and Cherapunji, where we have enjoyed all the sightseeing including Dawki River and Seven Sister Falls. Our Special thanks to Mr. Sandip Raha, Director NatureWings and his entire North East Team who made our trip perfectly flawless and memorable. We will certainly take their help in future travel and recommend to others too.

We have taken Kaziranga and Arunachal Trip through NatureWings in this year January month. It was Nine Nights trip with my three friends and their families. Our trip includes Kaziranga, Tawang, Dirang, Bomdila and Bhalukpong. We are from Mumbai and we got the reference of NatureWings from one of my close friend, who took the North East Package from NatureWings last year and suggested me to take the Kaziranga Package Tour along with Arunachal with NatureWings only as they were extremely happy with NatureWings Service. So after a discussion, we did lots of customization as our choice and they revised the itinerary happily so many times. We have planned for Kaziranga Jungle Safari for long and our first day was in Kaziranga Jungle and on the next day early morning we took the famous Kaziranga Elephant Safari. It was only once in a life time experience as we could see the One Horn Rhinos just from few metre distance. In the afternoon, we took the Kaziranga Jeep Safari in the central range and that too was great experience. We stayed in a nice resort close to Kaziranga Western Range and resort was very beautiful with nice ambience, food and service were extremely good. Next day, we started for Western Aurnachal and we visited Bomdila, Tawang, Diranga and Bhalukpong and overall Arunachal experience was also very good. Thank you NatureWings for providing best experience in our North East Package.

We had visit the Kaziranga forest with Naturewings this January and it was an awesome experience. Kaziranga Sanctuary has a variety of flora and fauna, the one horn rhino, tiger and elephants could be seen from here, with a variety of birds. We woke up early in the morning that day for the Kaziranga elephant safari, it was about an hour we had the trip. We had the luck to see the Rhinos just at a few meters of distance from us. After finishing the safari we had a great breakfast at our hotel (which was booked by Naturewings team) and went for a drive to the part of the Kaziranga, Kaziranga Central range to enjoy the Jeep Safari in Kaziranga through the dense forest. NatureWings has arranged everything perfectly for Kaziranga Jungle Safari and we had a really good time there and highly satisfied with service of NatureWings. Will recommend all of my friends or family to go with them only.

Kaziranga is the best place to spot endangered One Horned Rhino. This sanctuary is divided in 4 ranges and the western and central ranges are the best to spot the Rhinos. It has to be done through the Kaziranga Jeep Safari in central range or the Kaziranga Elephant Safari in western range which anyone will love to go for. The elephant safari gets start by 5.30 in the morning and tickets were arranged by Naturewings team. We had a zeep safari so got a chance to see the lush greenery of the dense forest from the close. We spotted the tiger from a long distance luckily and got the glimpse of the famous one horn rhino. The best part of the trip is we avail the full service of Naturewings which was extremely satisfactory and hassle free. We thank Mr. Raha and his team for all their help and making our trip memorable.

Remarkable Experience, It was my first visit with NatureWings to Shillong, Cherapunji & most importantly Kaziranga National Park in the mid Feb. The best part to highlight is about Kaziranga Elephant Safari in Bagori Range though we have experience both Kaziranga Jeep Safari & Elephant Safari. But Elephant Safari was really unforgettable; It gives us better view of One-horned Rhino, dense forest & other wildlife. We must suggest all to visit Kaziranga National park and experience Kaziranga Jungle Safari and get the experience of staying at the forest.
Last but not the least, I would like to give special thanks to NatureWings team who just haven't book the perfect hotels and all other arrangements, they have taken care of every small points and organised perfectly which made our trip a remarkable one.
