Letters from the deck: notes on planning a Komodo trip
Updated 20 October 2026
Letters from the deck are short notes written for guests who are planning a trip on Maheswari. Each carries its date and the sources behind it.
What these letters are for
Each letter answers one question a guest has asked us, in the voice of a concierge writing to one family. The subject can be a month, a stop, a form to fill in or a line of the fare. It is dated, and it names the source it rests on, so that you can check a claim before you plan around it.
The letters add a note when something changes, such as a rule or a rate.
