  • Krem MawmluhMawmluh has chest-deep water in the river passage and a layer in its floor that helped define a geological age.

Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Meghalaya was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Would book with them again.
