How Two Corporate Escapees Turned Northeast India into a Full-Time Address

Story About Eventours Travels

Story About Eventours Travels — three words that sum up everything you are about to read: part travel diary, part business plan scribbled on the back of a boarding pass, and entirely a love letter to the Northeast of India. Every great trip needs an origin story, and ours is no different. Grab a cup of Assam chai, settle in, and let's begin.

The Story About Eventours Travels Begins with a Backpack, not a Boardroom

Every founder legend needs a "before," and ours starts in cubicles far from any tea garden. Amitabh and Raunak were corporate executives with spreadsheets to file and backpacks that itched to be unpacked somewhere less air-conditioned. Between conference calls, they kept sneaking off — to Kaziranga for the rhinos, to Meghalaya for the living root bridges, to the Brahmaputra for reasons no PowerPoint could quite explain.

Our philosophy is simple

Somewhere along the way, the itch became an idea, and the idea became Eventours. We built the company on a rather old-fashioned belief: travel isn't a transaction, it's an event — something you attend, not just book. That belief is still the backbone of every itinerary we design today, whether it's a weekend Brahmaputra cruise or a three-week grand circuit of the Northeast.

A Short Story About Eventours Travels' First Real Booking

As we like to say around the office, "A good itinerary gets you there on time. A great one gets you invited back." It isn't exactly Shakespeare, but it is printed on our office mug, so we've decided it counts.

Tripadvisor Story

Our first client wanted “something offbeat” and got exactly that — a homestay in a village that didn’t appear on any map app, with a Bihu celebration thrown in for good measure. She arrived expecting a hotel key card and left wearing a hand-woven gamosa, having adopted a grandmother, three new recipes, and a standing invitation for next year’s harvest festival. That, in one very unplanned afternoon, is the whole Story About Eventours Travels in miniature.

We Work with Market Leaders, Not Middlemen

Our vendors and ground partners are genuinely some of the best names in Northeast Indian travel, hand-picked rather than shortlisted off a spreadsheet. Tell our specialists your interests — heritage, wildlife, tea trails, or simply “surprise me” — and they will build a bespoke itinerary using knowledge earned on the ground, not lifted off a template. There is no set recipe here; every trip is tailor-made down to the last river crossing, working strictly to your budget without ever compromising on quality.

Group Tours, for Those Who Like Company

Join one of our escorted group tours and you get the best of both worlds — the camaraderie of shared travel and the expertise of a guide who genuinely loves the terrain. Our specialists design every group circuit personally, picking routes and stays the way a chef picks ingredients, with intention rather than convenience. The philosophy stays consistent whether you travel solo or in a group of twelve: get beneath the surface, and meet the real place.

Eventours Travels ensures every movement is carefully planned and efficiently executed

Every Eventours group tour comes with a guide chosen for passion first and paperwork second, though we promise the paperwork is also very much in order. We believe firmly in not babysitting our travellers, because half the joy of any yatra is discovering something your itinerary didn’t warn you about. Independence, within a safety net — that is the balance we aim for on every departure.

A Quick Detour: The Time We Nearly Missed a Flight in Guwahati

One of our earliest group tours ended with the entire party sprinting through Guwahati airport because a mahout insisted “just one more elephant photograph” before the transfer. We made the flight by four minutes and a genuinely embarrassing amount of shouting. The photograph, we are told, was worth every second — it still hangs in our office as a small monument to why we no longer over-schedule our mornings.

The Places That Make This Story Worth Telling

Every good story needs a setting, and ours happens to be one of the least explored, most photogenic corners of the country. Kaziranga gives us the one-horned rhinoceros and a morning jeep safari that photographs never quite do justice. Meghalaya gives us root bridges older than most travel companies and waterfalls that show up uninvited after every monsoon shower. The Brahmaputra, wide enough to be mistaken for a sea, gives us sunset cruises, river islands, and the occasional dolphin sighting that turns even the most seasoned traveller into an excited child with a camera.

The Story about Eventours Travels - Plot Twist

Most travel brochures read like weather reports — competent, forgettable, and gone by evening. We wanted ours to read like a story you'd actually finish, because the trips themselves are built the same way: with a beginning, a middle, and a plot twist you didn't quite see coming. In an industry crowded with copy-paste itineraries, that is, quite deliberately, our point of difference.

Expertise in the travel industry

Assam's tea gardens round the picture off nicely, offering the rare sightseeing experience that also comes with a caffeine fix. Together, these landscapes form the beating heart of every itinerary we build, and no two visitors ever seem to experience them quite the same way.

Our Experience Counts in Every Chapter of This Story |

With years of collective experience in Indian travel, we have watched some companies run the same circuit so often that they lose their connection to the destination entirely. Others simply borrow an established brochure and repackage it as their own, selling Incredible India by the metre. We do neither — every tour is crafted fresh, built around showing you a place as it actually is: tea gardens, monsoon delays, and all.

Service Commitment, the Eventours Way

As a small company, we offer a level of attention the big travel conglomerates simply cannot match. By the time you land, our in-country crew already knows your preferences, your dietary quirks, and quite possibly your coffee order. Every query is handled by people on the ground, not office-bound call-centre staff reading from a script, so the information you receive is current, factual, and occasionally accompanied by unsolicited but excellent restaurant advice.

atithi devo bhava

This is deliberate. A destination management company is only as good as its last-mile detail, and last-mile detail is exactly where most large operators quietly give up. We have built our reputation on the small stuff — the timely transfer, the correctly spelled name tag, the extra blanket nobody asked for but everybody needed — because in travel, as in life, atithi devo bhava is not just a slogan, it is a job description.

Events

Corporate Concierge

For travellers who want a little more polish, our Eventours Privé desk and Corporate Concierge line handle everything from private tea-estate stays to offsite planning for entire teams, minus the usual jugaad required to make Indian logistics behave. It is the same philosophy as our group tours, simply dressed a little more formally.

Meet the Custodians of This Story

Behind every good travel brand are people who would rather be on a road trip than in a meeting. Ours are no exception, and they happen to have founded the company as a fairly direct consequence of that preference.

Young Company, Old Hands — The Present Chapter of the Story About Eventours Travels

Eventours Travels is a small crew with disproportionately large experience in Indian travel — people who have “been there, done that” with the bigger companies and chose to build something smaller and better instead. We take pride in leading travellers to both the out-of-the-way corners we personally love and the crowd-favourites everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.

Amitabh Sarma

Impact Area: Product Development & Outbound Experiences

Amitabh spent his early career as a Business Analyst with a large financial services firm before deciding spreadsheets were better left to other people. He has since worked across several corporate and travel organisations, reads and writes almost as enthusiastically as he travels, and considers a Royal Enfield ride through the hills of the Northeast to be genuine therapy. His running office joke is simple: "The itinerary is only a suggestion. The chai stop is mandatory."

Raunak Narayan Deb

Impact Area: Product Development & Inbound Experiences

Raunak brings over a decade of service-industry experience and an eye for detail sharpened across several corporate stints before he made his way home to Assam. A natural explorer with a visionary streak, he approaches trip design the way an editor approaches a manuscript — cutting what does not serve the story and keeping what does. He likes to remind the team, "Respect the plan, but never so much that you miss the detour."

Eventours is supported in product development, marketing, and digital strategy by specialist individuals and organisations from across the region, each an expert in their own corner of the travel ecosystem. In many ways, Eventours is less a single company and more a collaboration of like-minded people who happened to converge on the same idea from different directions. That collaborative spirit is, quite literally, baked into every chapter of this story, and it shows in the seams-free way a trip moves from booking to boarding.

of the Story About Eventours Travels With Us

Every traveller who books with us becomes a small footnote in a much larger narrative — one that started with two restless corporate executives and a shared belief that a holiday should feel like an event, not an errand. We would like to think the best chapters are still ahead of us, mostly because we have not yet run out of places in the Northeast worth getting lost in.

So here is our closing line, printed nowhere official but repeated often enough to be true: travel far enough into someone else's culture, and you usually find a better version of your own story waiting on the other side. Come find yours with us — the chai will be hot, the guide will be honest, and the itinerary, as always, will leave just enough room for surprises.
