Dear Jhumur
 
Wishing you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR too!
 
I must also tell you that we had a very exciting trip this time to Kolkata-Varanasi-Darjeeling-Gangtok. The guides were all superb! Kolkata – the guide (Deep) brought us through the most exciting parts of the city and we saw so much more than we originally expected. He was wonderful. Varanasi – the guide Ajay was very good – he gave us a good insight to Varanasi and we enjoyed every part of the exploration including the walks through the narrow lanes and the rickshaw rides. Darjeeling/Gangtok – our guide Dilip Kanan was very much in “harmony” with our expectation. He was very meticulous in making sure every part of our journey is memorable … of course we cannot forget the many views of Mount Kanjenjunga, thanks to him!
 
We must also send our appreciation to the drivers Ameet and Adam of Darjeeling. They took great care in driving us safely and kept the vehicle very clean each day.
 
We enjoyed all the hotels except Floatel. Although Floatel was unique as it is on the river, the rooms were too small. All the other hotels were very good and made our trip very comfortable. Ramada Varanasi was good and we even got to see a local wedding there! Mayfair Darjeeling was like a home away from home. We particularly enjoyed Mayfair Gangtok for all its facilities and great views. We were a little anxious to see how Pride Hotel was going to be and we arrived it turned out to be really great.
 
Our sincere appreciation to you for putting together such a wonderful tour for us. You must have taken a lot of effort in connecting the right hotels and right people (guide-driver-local agents) to make this trip a memorable one for us. We certainly look forward to more trips like this in future. Thank you and enjoy your work!
