    Hi there,

    My name is Jack and I'm a British journalist hoping to visit McCluskieganj in early April to produce a travel article focused on the history of the town. As the only blog/website about the town that is being updated regularly, I was wondering if you could help me with a few questions I have:

    1. Is there any guesthouses in McCluskieganj accepting foreign tourists? If so, how much roughly will a room cost per night?
    2. Are there any heritage/history tours operating in the town? As I'd love to learn more about its past, especially its links to the English.
    3. And finally, for my potential article I'd love to speak to some longtime residents of the town. Who would be the best person to talk to about potentially arranging such meetings? Does the town have a tourist office or anything? I've heard the town once had a large Anglo-Indian population and would love to speak to any who remain.

    Please do let me know if you can help with any of the above queries. My email address is: jack.freelance@outlook.com

    As a very knowledgeable source regarding the goings on of the town it would be great to have your support.

    Thanks very much,
    Jack
