Brahmaputra River

Discover India’s abundant wildlife, ancient history and colorful culture on a Brahmaputra River cruise. Most of these cruises sail along the river’s lower reaches and often include hotel stays and sightseeing in India’s Golden Triangle. Visit vibrant Delhi, India’s capital and third-largest city; Agra, where the majestic Taj Mahal is located; and the pink city of Jaipur, filled with palaces, fortresses and lively bazaars.

You might also see Mother Teresa’s former home and tomb in Kolcata or take a jeep safari through Bandhavgarh National Park in search of Royal Bengal tigers. Other highlights along the river include Kamakhya Temple, Majuli Island and Kaziranga National Park, home to the world’s largest population of one-horned rhinoceros. Some itineraries also visit a tea estate where you’ll learn the history of growing and processing Assam tea.

Well-planned itineraries leave guests with a deeper understanding of India’s complex history and diverse cultures as guides share their expert knowledge and point out important sites. These vacations are easy to budget, too, as the upfront price covers ship accommodations, hotel stays, many meals and activities ashore.
