Re: IIID Kolkata Chapter InstallationDay@Sunderbans
Secy Desk,iiidKolkata
As you are perhaps aware, IIID Kolkata has planned this year’s celebrations at Sunderbans, a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site for its unique tropical mangrove tidal forest terrain known to be one of the last protected haunts of the Royal Bengal Tiger.
As always before, we hope to make this destination programme a memorable one, and we look forward to participation from you.
Sunderbans being a national forest has limited choices of hospitality. As such, we have booked in advance accomodation at Sunderban Tiger Camp & Suranjana Resorts (adjacent venues) at Dayapur. Because of such limited seats, we would be very happy if you come forward and book early to avoid disappointment later.
Registration Charges for members & spouses @ Rs 3500.00 per head (all inclusive) on a TWIN-SHARING BASIS
PLease RUSH to book early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The itinerary is as follows.
