Testimonials

Thank you Earthy Hues, and Bhavana for arranging this trip to Meghalaya for Hrishi and me. The Mawmluh cave experience was amazing! The trekking experiences were great. You and your team accommodated our last minute changes very smoothly. We didn't face any issue with the guides or driver during the trip. All of them were very friendly and cooperative. In particular, Winston, one of the guides, treated us to delectable meals on both days. Thank you for creating such lasting memories and organizing a well-coordinated trip. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
Attaching few pics, few can be taken from this link. I believe its not that we choose to travel but Travel chooses us. I was very excited about the All women's group tour to Meghalaya when it was announced by Earthy Hues Tours as I had been long planning my solo travel too. Earthy Hues Tours founder Bhavana is a patient promoter. She gave us a complete picture and details for each of our stay resorts, travel planning and driver and guide details. The whole trip went seamlessly. I have to appreciate the driver and the guide we had through our trip who took us to all the well-curated, untouched places of Meghalaya as well as ensuring our safety.The weather was perfect and the whole memory of "Walking in the Clouds" is ingrained in my memory for years to come as mentioned in their promotions. Each resort where we stayed through the 6 days/5 N trip had good service, superb views. Thank you Earthy Hues tours for entire experience! I will highly recommend all women travellers/families to try the All Women's trip destinations by Earthy Hues Tours
