Meghalaya Reviews From Our Travellers

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Meghalaya with Capture a trip, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail were apparent. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a mix of must-see landmarks and off-the-beaten-path gems, making sure every traveler’s interests were met. Our Captain, Abyudhay Sharma was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready to answer questions. The group size was ideal, fostering a friendly and comfortable atmosphere while allowing for personalized experiences. The accommodations were top-notch, and the transportation was always punctual and comfortable. Special mention to the driver Pallav bhai. What stood out most to me was how the group genuinely focused on making the trip enjoyable for everyone. Whether it was organizing local experiences or providing helpful travel tips, it was clear they wanted us to make the most of every moment. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, fun, and enriching travel experience, I highly recommend Capture a trip. They made my trip truly memorable, and I can’t wait to join them on another adventure.

My destination with Capture A Trip was Meghalaya. I have opted for a group tour package for 7D/6N. I am pretty impressed with all the accomodations (the best in the budget - it was like a 4 star accommodation), decent food and hassle free planning of the team. We had also done camping at Dawki riverside. Food and stay arrangements were pretty decent. Our trip captain Masoom Raza was one amazing soul, he has taken extreme care of each one of us, he always ensured we never had a dull moment and kept us entertained throughout the trip. I'm thankful to Capture A Trip as I have met and known the group of 20 people from different backgrounds and regions across India. It was wonderful creating memories with them. Places covered in the itinerary - Kaziranga safari, Laitlum grand canyon, Lyngksiar waterfalls, Double decker living root bridge, blue lagoon, Mawsmai caves, Krang shuri waterfalls, Dawki/Umngot river camping and water activities - cliff jumping, kayaking and boating, Umiam Lake and on request if time permits they allow you to have darshan at Kamakhya devi temple on the last day. A trip with "Capture A Trip" to cherish and treasure all the breathtaking views throughout my journey. Thankyou for making me witness the abode of clouds, pristine waters, lush greenary, nature's beauty - Meghalaya❤️

I took a 7-day trip to Meghalaya and Kaziranga with Capture A Trip from December 25 to December 31, 2024. The accommodations were excellent, with cozy rooms and beautiful views that truly captured the essence of Meghalaya. The food was delicious, varied, and always satisfying! The local flavors added a special touch to the trip.
