It’s Time to Start Your Adventures

“We don’t just show you the map; we show you the soul of the mountains.”

The “Cloud Nine” Journey (Honeymooners)

Focus: Romance, Luxury, and Intimate Landscapes.
Stay: Ri Kynjai – Serenity By The Lake, where the architecture mimics traditional Khasi cottages with a view of the mist over Umiam Lake.
Experience: A private, sunset boat ride on Umiam Lake followed by a candlelight dinner featuring local delicacies like Jadoh (red rice).
Highlight: A quiet morning at Laitlum Canyons, standing together above the “End of the World” as clouds roll up from the valley below.
The Vibe: Elegance, seclusion, and the quiet magic of the hills.

Explore North East

While Shillong is our home, the spirit of the Northeast knows no borders. From the snow-capped monasteries of Arunachal to the tea-soaked plains of Assam and the rhythmic tribal festivals of Nagaland, we offer curated expeditions across the entire Seven Sisters and Sikkim.
Here is how we bring our signature local expertise to the rest of the region:

🏔️ Arunachal Pradesh: The Land of the Rising Sun
The “Himalayan Romance” (Honeymooners): Journey through the clouds to Tawang. Stay in cozy boutique lodges, cross the high-altitude Sela Pass, and find peace at the world’s second-largest monastery. We arrange private “moments” by the frozen Sela Lake and the misty Nuranang Falls.
The “Tribe & Trek” Trail (Backpackers): Venture deep into the Ziro Valley to live among the Apatani tribe or trek into the untouched wilderness of Mechuka, where the landscapes feel more like Switzerland than India.

🐘 Assam: The Gateway to the East
The “Wild Heritage” Safari (Families): A seamless journey through Kaziranga National Park. We secure the best elephant and jeep safaris for your kids to spot the One-Horned Rhino. Follow this with a stay on Majuli, the world’s largest river island, to witness the vibrant mask-making traditions of the Satras.

The “Brahmaputra Cruise” (Leisure): For families and couples who prefer a slower pace, we offer sunset cruises on the mighty Brahmaputra and luxury stays in heritage tea bungalows.

🥁 Nagaland: The Land of Festivals
The “Hornbill Immersive” (Backpackers & Culture Seekers): We don’t just book a stay; we get you into the heart of the Hornbill Festival (December). We provide base-camp style accommodation and local guides who can explain the history of the 16 Naga tribes.

The “Dzukou Valley” Trek: A rugged expedition to the “Valley of Celestial Charm.” We handle all Inner Line Permits (ILP), camping gear, and local porters so you can focus on the breathtaking lilies and rolling green hills.

🚠 Sikkim & Darjeeling: The Himalayan Retreat
The “Kanchenjunga View” (Honeymooners): Sophisticated luxury in Gangtok combined with the old-world charm of Darjeeling’s toy train. We curate high-altitude escapes to Tsomgo Lake and the flower-filled Yumthang Valley.
The “North Sikkim Expedition” (Backpackers): A journey to Gurudongmar Lake (one of the highest in the world) and the rugged valley of Lachen, designed for those who want to test their limits against the Himalayas.

Why Book Your Northeast Tour with Us?
ILP & Permit Logistics: We handle all the tedious paperwork for Arunachal, Nagaland, and Mizoram so you don’t have to.
Inter-State Transit: Seamless vehicle transfers across state lines—no more haggling at taxi stands.
One Point of Contact: Whether you’re crossing from the hills of Meghalaya to the plains of Assam, your local Shillong team is with you via WhatsApp 24/7.

The “Khasi Heritage” Trail (Families)

Focus: Safety, Comfort, and “Edutainment” for Kids.

Stay: Courtyard by Marriott in the heart of Shillong for easy access, or Polo Orchid Resort in Cherrapunji which overlooks the Seven Sisters Falls.
Experience: An interactive morning at the Don Bosco Museum, followed by a gentle walk through the Elephant Falls, where paths are well-maintained for children and elders.
Highlight: A day trip to Mawlynnong, the cleanest village in Asia. Kids can walk across the single-decker Living Root Bridge in Riwai—a fascinating lesson in natural bio-engineering.
The Vibe: Stress-free logistics, cultural wonder, and family-friendly adventures.

The “Abode of Clouds” Expedition (Backpackers)

Focus: Grit, Community, and Off-the-Beaten-Path Thrills.

Stay: Riverside camping in Shnongpdeng (near Dawki) in basic alpine tents or a rustic homestay like Serene Homestay in Nongriat.
Experience: Cliff jumping and snorkeling in the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Umngot River, followed by a bonfire with fellow travelers.
Highlight: The legendary trek to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge in Nongriat. It involves descending 3,500 steps, but the reward is a swim in natural turquoise pools deep in the jungle.
The Vibe: Raw, physical, budget-conscious, and deeply connected to nature.

Why Outdoor Adventure

We believe that the best stories aren’t found in guidebooks, but at the end of a muddy trail, under the spray of a hidden waterfall, or around a crackling bonfire in a remote village.

Outdoor adventure in the Northeast isn’t just about “seeing” a place; it’s about feeling it. It’s the adrenaline of a river crossing, the silence of a sacred grove, and the humility of standing beneath a 500-year-old living root bridge. It’s a chance to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with your own sense of wonder.

What You Get

When you book with TraveNE, you aren’t just buying a ticket; you’re gaining a dedicated team of hill-country experts. Here is our promise to you:

1. The “Insider” Advantage
Forget the generic tourist circuits. We give you access to the spots locals keep for themselves—the quietest stretches of the Umngot River, the best sunrise points in the Khasi Hills, and the most authentic homestays where the food is cooked over a traditional hearth.

2. Safety Without Compromise
The terrain of the Northeast can be unpredictable. We provide vetted, experienced hill drivers, high-quality trekking gear, and local guides who know the weather patterns of the “Abode of Clouds” like the back of their hands. Whether you’re with toddlers or trekking solo, your safety is our baseline.

3. Radical Authenticity
We don’t “sanitize” the experience. You’ll meet the farmers, the weavers, and the village elders. You’ll taste the real Jadoh and hear the folk legends of the Seven Sisters. We bridge the gap between “tourist” and “guest.”

4. Zero-Hassle Logistics
From securing Inner Line Permits (ILP) for Arunachal to coordinating multi-state vehicle transfers, we handle the “boring stuff.” You simply show up with your camera and a sense of adventure; we manage the rest.

5. Purposeful Travel
A portion of every booking goes back into the communities we visit. By choosing us, you are supporting sustainable eco-tourism that preserves our root bridges, protects our forests, and empowers local village economies.
