Don’t take our words

take theirs..

Had a wonderful time in Assam. We enjoyed a lot the company of simple villagers in Majuli and fantastic time in Kaziranga. Special thanks to our guide Manash for all the timely and comfortable arrangement. The team take special care of our likes and dislikes and answer all our quieries nicely before and after the trip.

Our trip with Nexplore Travel Company was amazing from the start. Anushila, who helped us plan, was very good at answering our questions and making sure our trip was just what we wanted.

Once we began our journey, we were lucky to have Manash as our guide. He took excellent care of us, making sure everything went smoothly.
Joynat, our driver, was great at driving in India's busy streets and made us feel safe. We had a wonderful time and think Nexplore is the best choice for anyone who wants a fun trip without any worries. We give Nexplore five stars!

- Mikael Thorvaldsson (Gothenburg, Sweden)

We went for Darjeeling- Sikkim - Assam- Meghalaya trip which was organised and Managed by Nexplore. The kind of iternity which I was looking for was not readily available with any tour operator. When the trip started I was little sceptical as I was travelling with 4 senior citizens for a long tour with geographical and climatic challenges. However as the trip progress, all my fear and nervousness converted to joy and happiness. Thanks Manash and whole team of Nexplore for giving us wonderful memories. Will be relying on you again for my next trip to NE in future. I will definitely recommend Nexplore to everyone for their north East trip.

We booked this trip last minute and were immediately helped with scheduling tours of the Kaziranga park and major attractions. They adjusted the tour for our requests to see a tea plantation and the city where most silk production occurs, Sualkuchi. Both of these were excellent additions and allowed us to witness the strength and beauty in Assamese craft. Our final trip was to Sualkuchi before our flight, this was an addition to the original tour. My friend and I are both engineers, so we enjoyed arriving in a city where each house had a large silk loom in the main room.
In sum, our guides were wonderful, our driver was sweet and accommodated our requests. We felt safe at every step of the journey and I can highly recommend working with Nexplore to plan your trip!

- Rebecca Govoni (Scotland)

We did a 10 day tour with my parents visiting Kaziranga, Tawang, Cherrapunji, Shillong, Dawki in our trip. It was a lovely experience for me and my family. Nexplore team helped us design a custom itinerary suiting our schedule and booked excellent accommodations for all our night stays. The person who drove us throughout the trip, Mr. Ganesh, was also a very pleasant person to travel with.
The overall experience with Nexplore was awesome and their rates are also very reasonable :)

Frequently Asked Questions

A minimum of 7 days covers the essential highlights of one or two states — typically Assam (Kaziranga safari, Majuli Island) combined with Meghalaya (Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki). For a more comprehensive multi-state experience covering Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh or Nagaland, 12–15 days is ideal. Nexplore designs itineraries from 4 days (Meghalaya short tour) to 21 days (complete Northeast India grand circuit).

October to April is the best overall window. November and December are ideal for Kaziranga National Park safaris and the Hornbill Festival in Nagaland (December 1–10). March and April offer rhododendron blooms in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. The monsoon months of June to September bring heavy rainfall — Kaziranga closes during this period, but Meghalaya and Shillong remain accessible.

Kaziranga National Park in Assam (world's largest one-horned rhino population), Shillong and Cherrapunji in Meghalaya (living root bridges, crystal Dawki river), Tawang Monastery in Arunachal Pradesh (400-year-old Buddhist monastery at 10,000 feet), Kohima and Mon district in Nagaland (Hornbill Festival, Konyak tribal villages), and Majuli Island in Assam (world's largest river island and cultural heartland).

Nexplore tour packages include accommodation as per your chosen tier (standard, deluxe, or luxury), all private road transfers, daily breakfast, an English-speaking local guide, all applicable entry permits (ILP, PAP for Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh), national park fees, and wildlife safari charges. International flights, travel insurance, and personal expenses are not included.

No. Kaziranga National Park is open from November 1 to April 30 each year. It closes from May to October due to annual monsoon flooding of the Brahmaputra floodplains. If you plan to travel between May and October, Nexplore can design an Assam itinerary focusing on Majuli Island, Sivasagar heritage, and tea estate stays that does not depend on Kaziranga being open.
