Notes on Tours in Darjeeling and Sikkim: Lt.Col. W. J. Buchanan, CLE., I. M.S.

Another set of notes, published around 1916, covering areas of both Independent and British Sikkim. Written by a soldier who had traveled extensively in his military career, this one is oriented more as a tourist guide giving valuable insight into the tourism infrastructure during those days. These notes have interesting info about the Dak Bungalows of the time and the rates for using anything, including cutlery!
