Though a little late to approach them for my UK Visa, as my existing agent got me a visa denial. I approached Gallivanters to see if my UK Visa could be reapplied. I was advised on the right approach and proper documentation needed to make my case strong. I am glad I took their advice and my visa arrived. My flight booking and accommodation was also taken care by them. Thank you very much Gallivanters.

I connected with Gallivanters during my requirement for a US Visa. It was a moment of grief for me and my family as my sister had just passed away in the US. They were very considerate and ensured to get me a Visa for my visit to the United States. They went out of their way to help me guide and gave clear instructions for my application.

Today, it is a hub for eco-tourism and a paradise for nature enthusiasts, offering stunning views of its crystal-clear waters framed by lush, rolling hills. The lake’s serene ambiance and natural beauty make it a perfect getaway for relaxation and recreation.
Visitors to Umiam Lake can indulge in a range of activities, from kayaking, boating, and water-scooter rides to leisurely picnics along its scenic shores. The surrounding forested areas also provide opportunities for trekking and birdwatching, adding an adventurous element to your visit. At sunrise and sunset, the lake transforms into a painter’s dream, with golden hues reflecting off its still waters.
