Did you come out of a romantasy novel?"Saumi: "I guess you are the protagonist who discovered my secret world."Ridhima: "And in this world is a secret garden where only love blooms from the seeds you sow, and in that garden, is a secret pool where I discover the depths of you and sink deeper and deeper until I can’t breathe — only to be lifted out of the deep end by your love in the air, and together, we float away on Cloud Nine.” Will You Be My Valentine? (2.14.25 - Day 59)O Ridhima, of House Borooah, first of her name, weaver of words, poet of passion, consultant by trade, breaker of monotony, and queen of quirks! You, whose laughter could even melt a dementor's cold heart, whose words glide like Nimbus 2000 and whose spirit is as untamed as a Hippogriff in flight! You are the ruler of spontaneous adventures, bringer of boundless joy and wielder of a heart so pure, even a phoenix would bow before you!

Suggested route:US/Canada/UK--&gt;DEL;DEL--&gt;GAU (~2.5 hrs); suggested airline: IndiGo. Transportation will be provided from the airport to your hotel/Homestay Pro Tip #1: Book your domestic (within India) flight separately to give you more flexibility. We suggest booking your domestic flights through Make My Trip.&nbsp; Pro Tip #2: We all love that one gets 2 checked in baggage for free (50 lbs each) on international flights. Unfortunately, that is reduced to 1 checked in baggage (33 lbs) per passenger on most domestic flights so be sure to check baggage allowances. Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya.&nbsp; Pro Tip #3: On your flight from Delhi to Guwahati, if possible, select a window seat on the left side of the plane because if you're lucky and the sky is clear and blue, you can see Mt. Everest and it is majestic. The pilot usually will make an announcement if visible.&nbsp;

Further details to be provided upon receipt of confirmed RSVPs.

NOTE: Guests will have the opportunity to ask additional questions when they RSVP. If the questions are more generic, they will be added to this page at a later date. If they are specific, we will respond to you individually.
