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 >
