Northeast Holidays

Our small office is at No.04 Deshabandhu Nagar in Panihati. Most of the time, it’s just me and my cousin sitting here looking at maps and checking train schedules. People come in wanting to see the mountains or go somewhere quiet for a few days. We don’t have those glossy brochures you see in the city malls. We mostly just write down the details on a notepad and figure out what’s possible for their budget. Panihati is a quiet area, so we don't get a lot of random foot traffic. People usually find us by word of mouth from their neighbors. We’ve been to many of the places we talk about, so we know which hotels actually have hot water and which ones just say they do in the photos. It’s a lot of phone calls and waiting for people to call us back. The walls of the office are covered in some old calendars and a map that’s starting to yellow at the edges. We like it here though. It’s a comfortable space to sit and plan trips. Sometimes the internet goes slow, and we have to wait a bit to confirm a booking, but we get it done eventually. We aren't a big travel chain. We just help folks get away for a bit. It is a slow process but we enjoy the work we do. It feels good when someone comes back with stories from their trip.
