Enjoy a cruise in India
The rivers of east India are central to the local way of life, and travel by boat is a wonderful way to discover areas which are otherwise almost inaccessible.
The longest river in India, the Brahmaputra, spreads into a vast expanse of water across the plains of Assam, dotted with numerous islands. Highlights along the river include exploring Manas National Park by elephant, spotting Kaziranga’s one-horned rhino, and Majuli Island where dances retell the life of Vishnu.
Summer cruises on the Hugli River between Calcutta and the Ganges include sightseeing in temples, towns and villages, by bus, cycle rickshaw and on foot.
