About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- linusnonem0 contributionsFabulousAshishji was a fabulous guide for my Shillong trip. Not only did he understand my requirements but he went beyond to explain and advice me the best possible day tours. I would greatly recommend him for a Shillong trip. Trust him explain to him what you want and he will not fail.Written 10 May 2024
- cmc6980 contributionsMesmerizing Experience in MeghalayaWe 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.Written 13 November 2019

Meghalaya, a state in the North East of India famous for its magnificent beauty. People from all over the world visit this place to have their drained souls get rejuvenated. The region has abundance of untouched beauty yet to be explored. In fact, every trip seems to be a treasure hunt for its admirers.
And very nice Itinerary managed by ashish..

Excellent! Very good service from beginning to end. Ashish was extremely helpful! Any questions we had were answered very quickly via email or phone call. Everything was very simple, professional and we were given all the information we required.
Booking with Aripile Travels was easy and trouble free. Documentation etc. was received promptly and the emails received prior to our trip were very helpful, ensuring we had everything in order before our departure.
We had issues with a hotel that we booked and Ashish helped us with that too in the last minute.
The driver, Suraj, was excellent and was very informative and kept us informed at all the points of interest.
When planning our next trip I will certainly look at what is available and I would have no hesitation in recommending Aripile Travels to family or friends. Keep up the great work and thank you for the great service.

Thank you for writing a wonderful review of our Meghalaya Tour Service.
This tour for me is personally a very memorable one as it took 3 long years to happen (which ofcourse was due to Covid-19 pandemic).
I tried to give you best available hotel as Shillong was jam packed and no property was available which you knew very well.
Special thanks for mentioning Mr. Suraj's name as he was the person who was with you all continuously taking you from place to place in the hilly Station.
I have conducted lots of tours but you all were the most energetic group I found, specially when you all made it to the Double Decker Living Root bridge with ease.
Please do recommend us to friends and relatives and we would happily serve them with full dedication.
We promise to keep our services updated and wish we could meet again.

It was one of the most beautiful and picturesque trip. Meghalaya is truly a hidden gem of India and what better way to do it than under the guidance of Aripile Travels. Ashishji was very cooperative and created an excellent itinerary. Moreover, the car and th guide/driver assigned was very friendly and joyful. My wife and I managed to cover cover a lot of spots in just 5 days all because of Arielle Travels. The hotels were hand picked and the restaurant suggestions was also very good.

Had a fantastic trip to meghalaya. We had our trip from 18th may to 24th may
We had planned our trip through Mr Ashish
Itinerary prepared by Mr Ashish is the best.
He is very meticulous in planning the trip and gives all the details that he is going to cover each day.
We had a 5 night stay in shillong and another 1 night in Guwahati. The tour was arranged such that you would not get exhausted any day.
The trip to cherrapunjee is awesome and we visited during the time when weather was perfect.
Must visit place is garden of caves.
Eco park in cherrapunjee does have breathtaking views.
The day to trip to mollynong and root bridge is very good. One is reflection of dedication towards cleanliness and the other is reflection of forward thinking by ancestors.You can spend a relaxed time.
The trip until Dawki is quite tiresome and can be avoided if there is rain. When it rains the water in the Dawki river turns muddy and you will have to sacrifice this. It might be good during winters.
Local sight seeing to Ward's lake, Elephant falls and Don Bosco museum sandwiched between two outstation tours will be a good change for the tourists and highly appreciate his thoughtfulness in planning it like that.
The last day we had an option of going to mawsynramm but chose to explore some more options in shillong (laitlum and sacred grove)
Laitlum is very picturesque and is best enjoyed when the sky is moderately cloudy( it will be the case in most of the days in shillong) . The natural canyons are too beautiful to be explained in words.
We also had a 2 day plan in Guwahati . Main purpose is to visit Maa kamakhya temple which was planned and arranged well.
Now coming to the main part, the tour arrangement and planning is commendable.
I strongly recommend to book stays with this Aripile travels.
We made a mistake of booking them through online websites and to our shock, the rooms were pathetic and we literally cried at the site of rooms(even though the rating was high in booking.com)
Mr Ashish helped us a lot in searching and arranging wonderful stay after a day when we complained the same. He can provide a list of best hotels in our budget.
Another great thing about the travels is the follow up they do every night.
He enquires about what is good and what is not on the day and tries to change it according to our taste for the following days.
Please take his advice on eateries. Mr Ashish will provide the best options to have food outside and also in Shillong.
Finally, if you are fortunate enough and if Mr Ashish is free for an evening stroll. He will accompany you for 1.5 km walk in shillong and explaining you the historicity of certain things during the walk.
Do not hesitate in planning a trip with Aripile travels if you plan to go northeast.

Dear Mr Jindal,
Thank you for trusting us for your Meghalaya Tour and writing a review for us.
Thank you for mentioning about city ride which is for better understanding and knowledge of the city as compared to Vehicle Ride which allows only limited knowledge.
Friendliness comes from both sides and you were equally friendly.
Thank you again for being happy with our arrangements.
Your was a short trip and we request you to visit again and we would be happy to serve you with untouched spots.
It's you who have made your own trip memorable and we were just supporting and assisting during the tour.
Please try our gift of Meghalaya's Lakadong Turmeric which is one of the best in the world.
Please recommend us to friends and family.

Wishing Ashish and Aripile Travels all the very best !!!

Dear Mr Rudra and Mrs Sharmistha,
This is one of my toughest review to respond.
It's not actually Ashish who has a passion for Shillong whereas guest like you all have the real passion for Shillong.
You are the first ever to talk about the city walk and I also enjoyed this as it was our first ever city walk both ways. Generally this is a one way city walk.
With regard to Kuton he is a good human being wanting to serve with dedication and love, I personally appreciate his love and service.
We were really surprised to get 5 star as the pain felt due to huge inflow during your particular day tour and health.
The more stars we get the more becomes our responsibility and accountability and commitment to our services.
We promise to keep ourselves updated.
We expect to meet again shortly as earth is round and ends should meet.
Thank you for being a lovely guest which has turned personal this trip.
Would really remember this tour.
Hope you recommend us to friends and family.
Do make a second tour and we will serve you at your best.
Thank you,

We booked with Aripile Travels just 2 weeks before our trip. The owner/representative Mr. Ashish has been an excellent host, truly professional and very punctual in every respect.
At first, we had just booked a cab for our entire tour, later also booked hotels with him.
Needless to say, the service was on point. The driver/tour guide Mr. Kutan, was an extremely polite and punctual gentleman.
The overall tour plan was suggested by Mr. Ashish, which was later modified as per our needs.
All the points we agreed to visit, were covered in stipulated time.
I would highly suggest anyone traveling to Meghalaya, to try Aripile Travels. Be assured that your tour will be absolutely hassle-free and smooth.
