Brahmaputra River Cruises

Lesser-known and less-visited than the Ganges, the mighty Brahmaputra River is a trans-boundry river which flows through China, snakes through the north east of India and cuts down through Bangladesh. This 2,390-mile river is incredibly important and has supported both humanity and wildlife in northeastern India for thousands of years. Home to strong indigenous cultures and remote communities the Brahmaputra is dotted with pristine national parks and beautiful countryside and is a great option for those looking for a more off-the-beaten track experience and authentic insight into rural India. A river cruise is a fantastic way to see this area. Explore the Lower Brahmaputra which focuses on Assam’s textile and craft industries and crumbling Hindu ruins, whereas the Upper Brahmaputra in north east India includes Majuli Island, ancient cities and tea plantations. Both offer the opportunity to visit the magnificent Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has the world’s largest population of one-horned rhinoceros.
