Baghmara Campers Wins “Best Offbeat Travel Experience” at NEITA 2025
This recognition is a proud milestone for our entire team and for everyone who has been part of our journey — from our travellers and guides to local hosts and community partners who make every trip so meaningful.
What is NEITA 2025?
The Northeast India Tourism Awards (NEITA) is a regional initiative that celebrates excellence in tourism across all eight states of North East India.
The first edition of NEITA was held in Guwahati in October 2025 and brought together pioneers of sustainable, responsible, and community-driven tourism.
From luxury eco-resorts to small local travel ventures, NEITA recognised organisations that are transforming how people experience the Northeast.
We’re deeply honoured that Baghmara Campers was recognised among them for promoting authentic, offbeat, and eco-friendly travel experiences.
What This Award Means to Us
This award is not just a recognition — it’s a validation of what we’ve always believed in: that travel should be simple, local, and meaningful. It reflects our dedication to showing travellers a different side of Meghalaya — one filled with stories, culture, and connection rather than crowded itineraries.
Offbeat is Our Heart
When we began our journey, our goal was clear — to move beyond mainstream tourism and create experiences that reveal the raw beauty of Meghalaya.
From hidden waterfalls and forest trails to riverside camps and traditional villages, every trip we design is meant to help travellers connect with the land, the people, and the culture.
A Push to Keep Improving
This recognition motivates us to keep evolving. It reminds us that we’re on the right path — but also challenges us to improve our camps, reduce our environmental footprint, and build even stronger cultural connections through responsible travel.
A Shared Achievement
This award belongs to everyone who has contributed to our story — local guides, homestay families, partners, and every traveller who trusted us with their journey.
Baghmara Campers has always been about teamwork, passion, and community collaboration. Each journey we offer is built with care, with support from local hosts and people who bring their land to life through stories and hospitality.
Our Journey So Far
When we started Baghmara Campers, our vision was simple — to help people experience Meghalaya in its raw, natural form.
Over the years, we’ve evolved into a community of explorers who value nature, culture, and meaningful travel experiences. Together, we’ve built something much larger than a travel brand — we’ve built a movement for responsible adventure.
Here’s what defines us:
- Connection with nature, not just sightseeing
- Support for local communities through homestays and local guides
- Sustainability at the core, with minimal waste and mindful travel
- Authentic, offbeat experiences beyond commercial tourism
What’s Next for Baghmara Campers
Winning the NEITA Award strengthens our resolve to grow responsibly and creatively. In the coming months, we’re excited to launch new initiatives that will further enhance offbeat travel in Meghalaya and beyond.
