We were planning to visit the North East and some ease to access locations. We got in touch with Naturewings who suggested and designed the package for us which was for 6 days including 2 days stay each at Shillong, Cherrapunjee and Kaziranga.
Naturewings had got our hotels booked and arranged for a cab pick up from the Guwahati airport who stayed with us during our journey and then finally dropped us back to the airport at Guwahati at the end of the trip.
I must say not only the trip well planned but the choice of stay and the points to visit at the various tourist spots was very well thought of. The cab operator who was a local person was very friendly and helpful. He acted as guide to us and advised and informed us on points of interest.
We had stayed at Orchid Lake Resort Barapani and Barbareek Inn at Shillong, at Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort at Cherrapunjee and at Wild Grass Resort at Kaziranga. The stay at these places were very comfortable and along with the tranquility and scenic beauty Orchid, Cherrapunjee Resort and Wild Grass Lodge it turned out to be a very memorable and enjoyable stay.
Naturewings were also regularly in touch with us and though we really didn't need any help as everything was very well planned out. Must mention the support we got from Ms Arpita and later Mr. Ratul who kept in regular touch.
We have already made up our plans to visit Arunachal Pradesh next year and we will take Naturewings help again.

We had already heard a lot about the North East which has become quite popular over the last couple of years, and was planning for a short trip over there. While looking for a reliable travel agent, we came across NatureWings, and after knowing their services, and checking the feedback of their past customers, we were pretty sure to make the deal with them. Honestly, we were not disappointed at all. Right from suggesting the best North East Package Tour for us, to making all the arrangements and conducting the tour smoothly, they did a great job. In fact, we were looking for some special sports activities like zip lining and paragliding as we were a group of college friends and were eagerly waiting for some adventure in the trip. So, after we told them about this, they made all the arrangements with extreme efficiency and took us to the most reliable organizer for this. Would be really grateful to them for this. We’ll definitely recommend NatureWings for Shillong Cherrapunji Package Tour.

NatureWings is doing some great job undoubtedly when it comes to North East Tour. They are specialized in that region and offer the most reasonable North East India Tour Packages. I came to know about them from a neighbour a few months back, and soon after that, I was planning a trip to Assam with my family. I got in touch with them instantly and all they wanted to know is the details of the travellers and the preferred time span for the tour. Rest everything was taken care of by them and just after a couple of days, they provided me with an Assam Cherrapunji Package Tour option that was best fit for me. I got a detailed tour plan which included all my interest points and was customizable. The staffs of NatureWings are extremely professional and friendly and what I loved most about them is that they listened to each of my problems and tried their best to solve them. Our family tour to Assam was a memorable one and that was possible only because of the expertise and professionalism of NatureWings.

I'm a traveller at heart and after exploring a lot of offbeat places of the Indian subcontinent, I was eagerly waiting for my visit to Cherapunji - the abode of clouds. I booked my tour with NatureWings as they were offering the best Shillong Cherrapunji Package Tour at a competitive price. After knowing about their services and package details, I was quite convinced that this is going to be an amazing experience, and I was right! They took care of every minute details of the entire tour and I was actually surprised with their services. Right from the accommodation and food arrangements to the special trekking activities and sightseeing of Cherapunji, they covered all the aspects with utmost details. They offer lots of North East Tour Packages that are customizable and that’s the best part about NatureWings. Based on your convenience and preference, they can customize the package and ensure the most satisfying experience for you.

This year 2020 January, we decided to travel to the North-Eastern part of our country. We have heard a lot about the North East, the most virgin part of India. Northeast consists of 7 states, and it was hard for us to finalize the itinerary for a 10 days trip. We started searching on google and came across NatureWIngs as the specialist company for North East.
Finally, we took the North East Package with Manipur. It was a 9 Night and ten days trip with Manipur, Kaziranga, and Meghalaya. On February 2nd, 2020, we landed at Imphal, it was a beautiful and cute city in the foothills of Himalayas. We traveled tp Loktak Lake and visited INA war memorial. We have heard about Mayanmar is just a 3 hours drive from Imphal and that we can enter into Mayanmar without a Visa!! So, we decided to explore that part also, and we went to Moreh, and on foot, we crossed the border and entered into Myanmar side.
The second part of our journey covered Kaziranga and Meghalaya. Kaziranga is the best with an Elephant ride. We spotted the One-horn rhino from a close distance, and finally, we reached, Shilong and covered all the beautiful places in the Khasi and Jantia hills. Overall, our trip was enjoyable and memorable and will recommend North East visitors to cover Manipur.

We are from Delhi, and this time, my family decided to cover North East India Tour In the map, North East looks like a small territory, but if you want to cover the entire North East, it may take more than 30 days. In our last North East Package, we have traveled West Arunachal part, and this time, we thought of covering some less traveled places like Manipur. So this time, we took Manipur, Kaziranga, and Shillong. In Manipur, we found it worth to visit; the people are great and welcome the tourists warmly.
The most exciting part of our visit is to enter Mayanmar, that's also without a Visa. We went to Moreh in around 4 hours of drive and just crossed the border and entered into Mayanmar and took a rickshaw to go to a Burmese Monastery too.
As usual, Kaziranga, we enjoyed a lot, particularly kids members of our trip were too much thrilled by looking at Rhinos, that’s from a stone-throwing distance. A delightful and memorable experience. Finally, we covered Scotland of the east and soaked into the pure nature, the sparkling waterfalls, the crystalline river at Dawki, lush green valleys, and the cleanest village of Asia, all in one place, and it is the Meghalaya.
We have just concluded the most memorable North East Package with Manipur, and we always recommend NatureWings for all the readers of this blog.
