Trip price:
Rs. 33,500/-
The trip begins & ends at Guwahati. The price includes all your expenses from Guwahati to Meghalaya and back, except your stay/food costs in Guwahati for 27th night.
The group will meet on Nov 27th at Guwahati as we need to leave for Kaziranga by 07.30 am on the 28th. For your return on December 6th, please plan your flights/trains from Guwahati in the afternoon or evening (after 2-3 pm) as we will arrive there from Shillong by 11 am. Also, do plan your flights/trains in a way that you have ample time to reach the airport or railway station. The airport is one hour away from the city centre and there can be bad traffic at times. The railway station is 15 minutes from the city centre.
CONFIRMING YOUR PARTICIPATION
Please confirm your participation at the earliest. Flight tickets tend to cost more, closer to the travel dates.
The last date for confirming your participation, by sending in your advance payment, is NOVEMBER 20th.
EARTH-FRIENDLY TRAVEL
Since flying may be unavoidable for many because of the distance & time involved, we'll try and do a tree-planting session in Meghalaya which can help offset your carbon emissions. Alternatively, you could make a contribution to The Sapling Project in Mumbai - they're doing great work! You could also buy some saplings and plant them yourself. We will also try doing a carbon audit of all the road travel that will happen on the trip, which you can choose to offset similarly.
However, if you have the time, we always recommend train travel over flying as it helps keep our carbon footprint low. The Saraighat Express & Kamrup Express are good trains to take from Kolkata.
