We have recently returned from a successful and exciting trip travelling upstream on the river Hooghly out of Kolkata, then on the toy train to Darjeeling and Sikkim in the foothills of the Himalayas and back to vibrant Kolkata. We will return next February to unwind with a short cruise on the river Hooghly before we explore Kolkata from its quirkiest hotel, then travel on by train to Orissa's textile villages, the temple town of Bhubaneshwar and the the Jagannath temple in Puri, staying in an idiosynchratic Railway Heritage hotel overlooking the sea. Finally, we end our tour with a visit to the great Sun Temple at Konark. We are considering repeating our highly successful tour of Gujarat in the near future. Please email us if you are interested in travelling in India (or Borneo!) with us. |
