North East Sojourn Travels, T. C. Chanda Lane, Road, Khaliamari, Dibrugarh, Assam 786001
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Mitalee Chakraborty

I with my family recently visited Himachal with nestravels. I am really very impressed with Mr. Debjyoti Chanda who called up every morning and evening to elaborate details about sightseeing and took feedback about the day spent. Everything from Hotels to the vehicle provided was excellent and the Driver who was also our guide was very knowledgeable. Thank you Sir for a great Holiday and though you are in the northeast, I will avail your service in every future trip anywhere in the country.

North East Sojourn Travels (NEST) is the best!!! We went to Nagaland, Assam and Arunachal for 10 days with NEST. Ours was not a usual trip and it involved a lot of off-roading, remote areas and long travels. Most of the areas we visited had limited phone networks, forget about the internet. When you are on such a trip, you get many hurdles along the way. We got delayed by a day due to a landslide along the way and once our car broke down. But NEST ensured a smooth and comfortable journey even on the treacherous roads. During that trip, we visited the remotest villages of Nagaland, attended a ceremony in a Monastery and get to know to meet Tai Phake Tribe, visited the famous Parshuram Kund, get to see the first sun rays that enters India in Dong Village of Arunachal, went up to the last eastern village of India and see China border, went till Anini Village and get to meet Idu Mishmi tribe there. All of these experiences were flawless and memorable because of the way NEST organised this trip. Every day the owner of the company Mr Debjyoti would call us, our stay owners and our driver to ensure a smooth trip for us. In short, NEST made a difficult trip, smooth for us. We would love to cover other parts of Arunachal with NEST soon.
