You wake at 6am...
But instead of rushing with a group of 40, you're sitting quietly with a local family. They're explaining how they've grown tea here for three generations. The mist is still thick. Your phone has no signal.
This is what we mean by moments. Not Instagram checklist items. Not “been there, done that.” Just moments. The kind you don't forget and can't quite explain.
That's what we spend months designing for you.

A day with us
What it actually looks like.
6:00 am
North Sikkim, 14,000 feet
The engine is off. Your guide points to a ridge without saying anything. A herd of yaks moves across it in the early light. The lake below is still in shadow. Nobody else is here.
2:00 pm
Meghalaya, Khasi Hills
No plan for the afternoon. The trail branches. Your guide says he knows a place. Twenty minutes later you are standing above a gorge where a root bridge has been growing for five hundred years. You cross it. The roots flex under your feet.
8:00 pm
Bhutan, Phobjikha Valley
Dinner at the farmhouse. Ema datshi on the table. Wood fire in the corner. Your host's daughter is doing homework at the other end of the room. The cranes came in at dusk. You realise your phone has been off since afternoon.
Our Story
Why We Built ClearEast Trip
I grew up in the tea gardens near the Bhutan border. I spent my childhood climbing mountains that felt endless, drinking tea with farmers, learning stories that nobody wrote down.
Then I moved to Bangalore. Years of corporate life. Good career. Meaningful work. But somewhere, I lost the thing that mountains had taught me: how to be still.
One trip back home, my mother asked: “Are you happy?” I wasn't. Not really.
I quit my job. Started designing journeys for people like my past self. People who have everything except the one thing they actually need: time to be somewhere. ClearEast Trip is one year old. This is still the only thing I want to do.
“Every person I take to the Northeast comes back a little quieter. That is the only review I care about.”

What Makes Us Different
Three principles guide every journey we design.
01
4 to 8 people. Always.
You are not sharing your guide with thirty strangers. The group is small enough that the itinerary can flex when something worth staying for happens. And it will.
02
Guides who live here.
Not trained staff from a city office. People who grew up in these hills, know the families and monasteries by name, and have relationships no booking platform can replicate.
03
No checklist.
We design journeys around mornings, not monuments. An unplanned two-hour conversation with a tea farmer is worth more than five scheduled sights.

“
The rhino was six metres away and didn't care about us at all. That indifference was the most humbling thing I've ever experienced in wildlife.
