Authentic Encounters
Real people. Real places. Real connection.
We seek out experiences that bring you closer to local life — from traditional food and village stays to stories, crafts, music, and the landscapes that shape Meghalaya.
Our story
At the soul of TRIS Travels is Mei-ieid, my grandmother.
Born in Mairang, Mei-ieid embodied true Khasi hospitality — generous, hard-working, and unconditionally caring.
She never spoke the language of business, but she understood the importance of hospitality — welcoming every guest with an open heart and genuine care.
TRIS is more than a name. It is a promise to carry her spirit forward — through every homestay, every meal, every guide, and every journey we craft for you.
At TRIS Travels, we create immersive journeys that go beyond sightseeing.
While conventional tours can rush you through places, we believe in slowing travel down so you can connect more deeply with the people, culture, and landscapes of Meghalaya.
- Trekking with local guides
- Listening to folklore and traditional music
- Staying in welcoming village homestays
- Learning to braid a living root bridge
- Supporting skilled local artisans
Every TRIS journey is shaped by the community.
Because we believe travel should benefit the traveller while uplifting the host.
To us, the community is not an afterthought. It is the heartbeat of everything we do.
When we grow, we grow together.
Our values & impact
What guides the way we travel
Community First
Travel with the people who call Meghalaya home.
We work with local hosts, guides, experience providers, artisans, and small businesses so that the people who share their homes, skills, stories, and places can be part of the journey — and benefit from it.
Slow & Thoughtful Travel
Go deeper, not faster.
We believe the best journeys leave room to pause, listen, explore, and connect. We thoughtfully bring experiences, stays, people, and places together rather than simply moving you from one attraction to another.
The impact you make.
