We are planning to trip in Meghalaya.After searching so many things online we come to conclusion it will be difficult to manage on our own.So comes the next difficult part opting a good tour agency. I have searched every tour agency listed on meghalaya tourism site throughly and found Aripile travels.It was only this agency which was given 5 star rating 12/12 review and I was like that can't be true.I went down trough every review and found out about Mr.Ashish manger of this agency and their beautiful work.Then I decided I will experienced this. 8 days of our trip by him was beautifully planned.He personally take care of our needs be it food(we are pure veg family from Gujarat and it is hard to find good veg food in meghalaya) or hotels or anything.Driver provide by him Mr.Abhijeet was a Gem. If I ever wanted to tour Meghalaya again without doubt I will go with him. Thank you Aripile travels.
