We were delighted overall with the tour, especially the naturalist, Arpita in the Sunderbans and our guide Babitosh. We loved Naren and driver Santu who met us at Siliguri and then travelled with us for 8 days in West Bengal in Sikkim.

Gill and I were in 33 and 34, which is one up and one down, Doug was in berth no 1, at the end of the carriage.
