Summary: Overall, the 5-day tour was very adventure pond. I liked the early morning view of the Kandchenjunga from Tiger Hill in Darjeeling. Mr Kumar took great care of me. He deserves special praise for that. There were small reductions in cars and drivers. A car was pretty dirty. The drivers, however, essentially responded to my wishes.
