West Bengal.
After a series of flights – including the very long leg from Seattle to Singapore, 17+ hours due to some weather-related enroute tweaks – we reached Kolkata in the late evening. A quick night in some airport hotel and an early start with Punit the following morning. It took us a better part of the day (8ish hours) to drive to the little village of Tulin in the extreme west of West Bengal. There we stayed in the pretty comfortable Tulin Heritage Bungalow.
