Our trip to Meghalaya in May 2022 was very well customized as per our choices. The sightseeing locations and hotels was very well coordinated. It was easy to work with Ritu Goyal, the owner of the company who ensured and looked after each and every detail of the itinerary. We had a wonderful experience and look forward to planning more such trips with Ease India Travel
