I did the tiger and tusker trip with Johns Boat trips last time. The journey is fab when you get on the train its not so full but that soon changes. It was nice chatting to people and a crowd of students came on and had us all singing and clapping with them. The views were great but a word of warning if you are near a window close it if u hit a tunnel coz all kinds of dust blows in and u end up sooty plenty of vendors selling food we were provided with a sandwich and water by our guide. I did sample chai though

. it is tiring though you get up early go up the mountains to see the monkeys then off to the elephant sanctuary, there was a stop for lunch and then the tigers. It was fun to get close to them even though you were on a bus. The hindu temple was great followed by a proccesion. It is very hot and crowded in the temple though and not great if you are a bit claustrophobic. I really enjoyed all the trip and the experince of doing something different.
