The Brahmaputra river valley is not only blessed with abundant forest cover, but also a unique culture that’s rooted in a simple, agrarian, self-sufficient way of life for the Assamese people. On this boutique expedition cruise up the Brahmaputra river, discover one of the highlights of Assam – Majuli, one of the world’s largest river islands and a microcosm of Assamese culture that can be accessed only by ferry or country boats. Furthermore, we will be crossing Kaziranga National Park on your right with expansive views of the flora and fauna of this scenic park. Many times, our cruise guests have been lucky enough to spot wildlife on these banks, especially the royal Bengal tiger who loves to bask in the winter sun.
