It was a wonderful trek in fact. It was easy and we were at 4500 meters. 

It is very chilly but is a great place to be. 

Yes, it is a very amazing place here and I am very grateful to be here.

It is my first time seeing such a huge mountain from such a close distance.

"We just had a fantastic tour in Darjeeling and Sikkim.

Pallab organised everything for us.

And everything was perfect from start to finish. 

We also like to thank Mukund, our Guide

and also our driver. Without them, it would not have been the same

Mukund went out of his way to make us discover

not only the sites but also the local life and local culture.

And the driver was fantastic! Because the roads in Sikkim

are a bit of adventure and he handled them extremely well. 

And it was a pleasure from start to finish. Thank you"

"Hello, My name is Shashidhar and we have been here in Sikkim and Darjeeling with my family

And we have taken the help of Naturebeyond to plan the whole trip

Mr Pallab has been very helpful from the planning phase onwards

We had an excellent time. Especially in terms of the selection of hotels

they are very close to the market place

so that we could go there by walk

and of course excellent vehicles and drivers

Specially Mr Vivek, who has been with us for the past 3 days

taking us around Darjeeling. So we had a fantastic time

Thanks a lot Pallab. 

We will surely comeback again

to explore more of Sikkim and Darjeeling

Thank you."

Shashidhar Shankaka | Hyderabad

today we end our trip for the India part from Calcutta to Darjeeling Sikkim and we are going to the end today regarding the India part. the travel house organized the circuit very well apart from the safari which would not have never had to schedule since we were warned there is really nothing to see the place where the animals are is not accessible so unless an elephant is trying to commit suicide there is very little chance of seeing animals while we could have taken a break in this very beautiful colonial residence we are very very satisfied with the hotels of the organization of the drivers and particularly with our guide who is very cultured very available and who has an interesting background we recommend him at home of the trip for other tours in India he had to speak several languages ​​and know everything including at the end unfortunately we are leaving him today so here is very very satisfied with this tour here is Dani to speak I don't have much to add especially to the CR of the birds so everything was very good the drivers are very good also how the drivers the cars are very good very good quality on roads that are often very difficult and we really appreciated the the dexterity of the drivers so overall a very good trip and really emphasizing once again after Daniel on the quality of the Guide of the cultural guide who speaks French perfectly and who introduced us a little bit into the mysteries of Buddhism here ah if you please your name your names and Jean-Pierre and Daniel count you and who was the guide please our guide is called hello

Jean Comte | France

"Thank you to Raj, Pallab and Naturebeyond for making this trip

an unforgettable one for my Brother Prashant and I.

Raj has been completely amazing in taking us to all the places that we had requested.

He has given us so much information, not the information that we necessarily asked for, 

But he knew what we exactly needed and wanted.

So our needs were greatly met by the company.

Our driver was fantastic. We had stopped along the way.

the places were nice and clean with washrooms.

We are happy with our accommodations. Specially in Delhi, which is The Imperial.

This is a beautiful Hotel. As well as the Lemon Tree in Delhi, where we stayed prior to getting on to our next flight, 

which made it really easy to have a few hours stop there.

We took a drive to the Ganges river, which was a memorable experience for both my brother and I.

It took us 4 hours up and 4 hrs back. We had so much time to have a look around.

So thank you to everyone. And we really appreciate all of your work. 

Thank you so much Raj."

"Hi, my name is Rahul and I came with my family to Sikkim.

We also put Darjeeling into it.

We planned our tour with Naturebeyond

and Pallab Bhattacharya was our tour manager. 

And he brilliantly planned the entire tour

There were no glitches whatsoever.

and he was very prompt and very efficient in planning the entire tour. 

My tour was supposed to happen in January this year.

But due to the third wave of Corona, it got postponed

and he ensured that whatever amount we paid we didn't lose.

And, you know, the same facilities and same hotels - quality hotels we would be getting at all the locations

and the smallest details were very much taken care of by Pallab

He is very amicable and very professional. And very Prompt

in replying. We had all the communication via email and SMS.

He was always available on the phone call.

whichever small glitches happened, which is bound to happen in any tour,

he addressed them very promptly. 

I would highly recommend Naturebeyond if you want to plan your travel to the Northeast.

or anywhere. Thank you"

Allan Oxenham | UK

Hi, We stayed 3 nights in Gangtok, 2 nights in Darjeeling and one night in Pelling with our guide Vivek. He is actually very careful, and very helpful. But our expectation was higher for this area. But I suppose in the month of February we could not fully experience the beauty of this place due to the weather. We can only imagine how beautiful it is. Although we are a bit disappointed, we have enjoyed the tour so far. And thank you Vivek and the company Naturebeyond for your services. Thank you very much.

B L Basant | South Africa

"We came to Sikkim with Naturebeyond. 

 It was a pleasant experience for us.

 Thank you."

SumitTalukdar | Kolkata

Debanjan Nath | Kolkata

"Well, it is a great trip to Sikkim. It is full of beautiful people.

The people here are very friendly. The place that we went to... Himalayan Mountain area

are extremely beautiful. We had a very good guide, who explained to us very deeply about Sikkim area. 

Mr Dawa. When we came to this Highland area - Tsongo Lake, we were little bit unlucky because there was a heavy rain. 

But anyway, right here is very good. The culture here is very colourful. 

I would say that they are very very down to earth people, very friendly. 

Including the driver, hotel people we met are very friendly.

Only the food is almost same everyday in the hotel.

But rest we really enjoyed the trip. And it is a very beautiful scenery in the Himalayas

I Cant believe actually i am in Himalayas Now. 

Infact it was our dream to be in the Himalayas.

It is like from another side of the earth to another side. It is so far away from Malaysia.
We can't imagine we are in the Himalayas."

Vigneswaran Thavachellvam | Malaysia

I didn't do the train. oh you didn't do the you didn't do the trip to go. no sorry. I did the trip to goom because it's trains and only men or Boys Like Trains. women don't like trains very much. so I missed it today we've been in gantok and this evening. as you can see we're sitting out in the garden having tea and cakes and biscuits in the grounds for A really lovely cool evening and we're about to go pack our bags cuz we're going to go back and leave here tomorrow which is very sad. and we have to leave all our friends here we've had a great guide. we had a great guide he's not bad. he's he's actually pretty good guide I think, don't you? English sense of humor he's got. speaks good English. got a good sense of humor. he understands our sense of humor which is very important. he also knows the difference between a bandstand and a gazebo which is very impressive. important and he knows all about orchids what else geraniums orchids what else what was that big plant the tall one amarillas amarillas knows all about amarillas which is fantastic and promises that we do have such things as yellow amorus which we're not sure whether we believe him yet but we think he might yes. I'm I'm really it's a yellow W for that I'm looking for yellow. that we quite sad to go but we got to be off at 7:00 tomorrow morning. this is very sad but our driver has looked after us and kept us safe. oh our driver has been good too it's not just the guide. the guide's been pretty damn good. but the driver has been very good too hasn't he? yeah so we're very impressed and we're very happy and we're very grateful thank you very much and we'll give you our email address tomorrow yeah okay thank you very much.

Hi, This is Remanth Kumar Reddy. We are a group of 10, travelling to

Darjeeling and Gangtok. We are travelling with Vivek and Chandra

From Naturebeyond Travels. Mr Pallab has arranged this tour

and this is very good. And Mr Vivek and Chandra are very very kind

and they are helping us to see all the locations, perfect locations

at the right time. And they are very kind to us and patient also. 

We have gone to Rafting and we have gone to the pine tree forests, mall road in Darjeeling

And it was very fantastic. They properly guided us what we wanted

And I think our whole family will agree to this. 

So, Thank you very much.

Remanth Kr Reddy | Hyderabad

"We came here to travel to Guwahati and Shillong.  

here the Hotel and transport facilities were very good

And the driver was also very nice. 

He cooperated with us a lot during our travel, which was very helpful. 

We had a lot of rain but we still enjoyed it

The operator provided us with good hotels with good facilities

And we had a great trip."

and they are so helpful, the drivers are so friendly

and I recommend that each and everyone who

wants to visit from place to place in this Himalayas

Thank you very much."

Anup Kr Palit | Kolkata

"This is Ashmita. Today we are completing our trip to Cherrapunjee and Shillong. 

This tour was entirely arranged by Naturebeyond. 

I must say that everything was properly arranged. 

Whatever I told them as my criteria,

they have kept everything in their priority
For example, in Cherrapunjee we stayed in Breiancy Holiday Inn,

and according to that they selected the places for me.
It was beautiful in terms of its location, their hospitality,

their behaviour. And if you are a silence lover 

then please do visit this Breiancy Holiday Inn. 

Naturebeyond correctly selected the place for me. 

Now coming to Shillong, it is a sharp contrast to the Breiancy Holiday Inn, 

where it was very rural and raw kind of beauty but this place,

 it is called Rosa Vile Resort. It is a beautiful heritage property built on 1935. 

Here we got another kind of flavour, which is different from Breiancy Holiday Inn. 

Here the staff and entire arrangement is very beautiful. 

They provided us food according to our will 

and I must say their behaviour was also very good.

Please do visit this place also. 

And last but not the least, the person, Deven 

who drove us for the last 5 days is an extremely responsible person 

and punctual, dutiful and what else should I say – 

every adjective is less for him. 

It is very nice and I will urge you to consider Naturebeyond as your travel partner. 

They are professional in terms of their duty 

and I should say they will take care of you like your family 

and I am eagerly waiting for my next trip with this travel partner Naturebeyond. 

Thank you."

Ashmita Das | Kolkata

We had taken this tour in the Northeast especially Assam and Meghalaya through Nature beyond company organised by Mr Pallab. this tour consisted of both Assam and Meghalaya. In Assam, we went to Kaziranga and we had a lovely time. In Kaziranga, we stayed at Dhansree Resort. The stay was very comfortable. we were three of us, I, myself and my daughter. Along with us, we had a driver as well as our guide, Mr Dipenda. From Kaziranga, we also did two jeep safaris where we could see lot of Rihno and other animals. From Kaziranga, we drove to Shillong, and we stayed at Orchid Hotel. Our stay in Shillong was very comfortable. From Shillong, we went to Cherrapunjee and we stayed in Loo copeer Inn. both stays were very comfortable. From Cherrapunjee we went to Dawki and other waterfalls and caves in Cherrapunjee. Following this from Cherrapunjee we returned to Guwahati, where we did some sightseeing. We ended our trip here. Our tour was very well organised by naturebeyond as well as our guide cum driver Mr Dipenda has been very very helpful.

"Good Morning. I'll speak in English.

So Manoj, thank you so much. 

I think it was a wonderful trip.

Last five days you have been really helpful

taking us to every place, 

talking about the speciality of each of the places.

And you took us to some best vegetarian restaurants around.

I think we enjoyed the food as well. 

And as he mentioned, the driving style and patience. 

Everything was definitely applicable. 

Thank you so much."

Nivasini Sarvesaran | Bangalore

"We had a very nice experience and thanks to Pallab and Naturebeyond 

the main organisation. And thanks to ofcourse Rohit,

the host in inn this resort or homestay.

I must say this homestay is much better than many hotels in this area. 

I have visited many places in India for my job and also, I like to travel.

This homestay in respect to their food, location, 

ambience, room and everything – it is superb. 

They took the homestay to the next level. I did not realise that a homestay can be like that.

And about Naturebeyond I would like to say 

that the kind of support I am getting from Naturebeoynd is extra ordinary.

Its something like a boutique kind of service we are getting. 

The request we have made to Pallab, we are getting more than that.  
And we really appreciate and are overwhelmed with the support and service we have received from Naturebeyond."

Somnath Banerjee & Sumit Chowdhury | Kolkata

"The Meghalaya tour was quite good.

Our Driver Babloo was very patient and cooperative 

with everything and he took us everywhere.

We enjoyed our drive with him. 

The car, everything was good. 

And we had a good time – all of us."

Fathima Mazunga | Bangalore

"This is our first-time travelling in North East. 

The service Naturebeyond provided to us was excellent. 

Although we are here for the first time but we did not have any problem. 

And it was very well managed.

The cab provided to us was also very good and the driver was also very nice.

Since we have a baby with us we thought it may be difficult for us

us but it was managed very well."

Binod Saini | Mumbai

"Hi, We are from Mumbai

We enjoyed Sikkim thoroughly mainly because the car was so good

and the driver too was so nice

And we had great fun. 

It was a very smooth driving. No rough break, no sudden stop

very smooth and safe.

And also driver Monoj introduced us to very unique eating spots

which we could not have discovered as such

Thanks a lot for that."

Warrier and Bhatia Family | Mumbai

"Hi I am Bivasman Dasgupta and I arrived on 5th of March 2022 

with my family – my Dad and mom at Bagdogra 

and we had this faveolus car ready for us at Bagdogra Airport.

It was provided by Naturebeyond, Mr Pallab.

And a very intelligent and cooperative driver Vivek. 

So the whole journey around 6 days – 7 days preciously was brilliant.

The driver was very cooperative. 

literally took us anywhere we asked Vivek. 

We had a faveolus overall tour in the necessary parts of North Bengal. 

Today we are ending our journey. 

We are very happy and satisfied with the service provided to us by Naturebeyond. 

We would recommend everybody to avail their service."

Parag Jariwala | Mumbai

"Thank you so much Banjara for organising this 5 days trek for us to Sandakphu.

And I speak for all four of us.

This has been a wonderful and mesmerising experience

and I am not sure if this short little video will do any justice to it. 

What made it extra special and a big cherry on top was our guide Avishek.

Whether it was getting up 5 AM in the morning for the Sunrise, 

or pushing us for the sunset view after a day long trek 

or helping us in the most difficult trails in the trek. 

Educating us on the local tradition, custom. 

This trek would not have half of the fun 

if it was not him.

Special mention of some of the homestays  that Banjara helped us in this trip

Specially the one in Gurdum, where the view and hospitality was out of the world. 

I believe it was called Mingma Homestay, simply outstanding, 

specially the family which hosted us.

Many thanks to Avishek for being there with us for this five days trip.

Most importantly for having the patient and temperament to handle some us

who were not as fast as him in the trek. 

Thank you Banjara and Srini for pushing us to do this. This was just simply awesome"

Kumar Singhee | New Delhi

"It has been an absolutely wonderful experience. 

Me my wife and kids thoroughly enjoyed the trip. 

All the hotels booked by Countryside were absolutely fantastic. 

They have taken very good care of all of us. 

The driver who accompanied us for the 15 days trip in Sikkim,

did a fantastic job. 

And the driver in Darjeeling is also absolutely no problem at all."

Pradeep Pandiya | Mumbai

"We are at the end of a 14 days trip including North Sikkim, 

Kolakham, Gangtok, and finally came here in Darjeeling. 

Thanks to Naturebeyond, they have managed this trip and all properties. 

The best of the lot is Cedar Inn.  

It always has been my favourite place.

This is the third time I am visiting Cedar Inn. 

The cleanliness, the service, food, and the relationship 

with the staff was something different."

"We are from Kolkata actually 

and this tour was arranged by naturebeyond, Siliguri. 

This is a very beautiful place.

We are visiting some sunrise view point of Loleygaon. 

And we have got our driver, Dimond Singh Siddhu. 

He is excellent. Excellent in nature and excellent in driving. 

He knows the area very well. 

So, we are very happy with Siddhu with his nature 

and also with Naturebeyond."

Dilip Bhattacharya | Kolkata

"We had a three nights stay here in Lamahatta. 

We came to Siliguri and from Siliguri to here we had a cab booked for us.

We are happy to come here. 

We had a three days stay which was good.

. Staying sightseeing and everything in Darjeeling. 

It was a really good experience. A wonderful experience"

Dr Sashikumar | Ranchi

"We are two families – one from Mumbai and one from Bangalore.

We are very fortunate to have this entire 25th-anniversary trip organised by Banjara. 

It has been very special for us because our first trip, our honeymoon was also in Sikkim. 

We planned to come here again and Banjara did a fantastic job. 

We started from Pelling and then we went on to Lachen. 

We wanted to go to Gurudongmar. 

We prepared a lot for it and wonderful arrangements were made for it 

but unfortunately it was not a right day.

But we actually enjoyed it a lot. 

We did, We did. It was wonderful. Although we could not visit it 

but the arrangements were taken care of so well by Banjara tours, and the hotels were amazing 

and finally, when we came here at Cochrane Place it was the icing on the cake."
