We arrived back in Kolkata from our Sundabans trip in good time and we collected our bag from the office and we were soon checked into Ashreen Guest House just off Sudder Street. Well I say soon, but we of course had to go through the usual rigmarole ... Read more >

We rendezvoused at the office as requested where we were expected and everything seemed to be organised. Just as well our arrival wasn’t a surprise as we’d paid a 50% deposit the last time we popped into Kolkata. This 3D/2N trip ... Read more >

Our return to Kokata following our improvised ‘tour’ of Bihar & Jharkhard didn’t start smoothly. The train was an hour behind schedule so the city was up and commuting leaving a dearth of taxis at the pre-paid rank. ... Read more >

We left Chandipur early due to the unfriendly and unaccommodating 8am check-out time. In actual fact those adjectives nicely sum up the people working in the Asha Nivas guesthouse too. We proceeded to spend the entire day catching rickety, ... Read more >

The 10.55am train from Puri to Balasore that we’d initially been told was sold out (but we eventually managed to buy some tickets) was in fact virtually empty. So we headed back up the tracks on a train that was only running 30mins late by ... Read more >
