The age limit of our group departures is 16 to 42 years due to the power-packed itineraries that we provide for our travellers. We can customise trips for travellers beyond the mentioned age bracket.
Currently, there is a village dispute near Wei Sawdong in Cherrapunjee. As a result, the government has prohibited tourist visits to the waterfalls there. Instead, we will visit Lyngkshiar Waterfalls. We are in constant communication with our ground team, and as soon as Wei Sawdong becomes accessible for tourists, we will resume visits to that location.
Stay in Shnongpedeng will be in Alpine/Dome Tents with common washroom.
Additionally, since this is not a leisure trip and several of our sightseeing locations are in rural areas, we kindly request that you avoid late-night strolling around the hotel for your safety and convenience.
