Brahmaputra Taster

Day01

Today morning arrive at Guwahati airport and drive a short distance to embark on your ship by afternoon. Enjoy lunch while cruising downstream to Sualkuchi. Post lunch walk through Sualkuchi, a bustling little town that is the centre of Assamese silk production, to visit weaving workshops. Witness the whole process of silk manufacture, from cocoon and spinning to dyeing and hand-weaving into exquisite mekhela chadars (a two-piece sari, the traditional attire of an Assamese woman).

Day02

This morning, cruise upstream and disembark at Pandu port to go on a short sightseeing tour of the city of Guwahati. Drive up Nilachal Hill to see the holy Kamakhya temple. With its tantric rites and animal sacrifice, the more squeamish among us may prefer to content themselves with its exteriors. Visit the poignant Commonwealth War Graves cemetery as well as a shop selling local crafts. We shall also visit mid-stream Umananda Island before reboarding and cruising upstream past Kurua in the north bank.

Day03

Cruise upstream past jungle-covered hills and turn into the Mayong River. Then, take a country boat for a kilometre or two to the road head from where we drive to Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary.

This small park has a dense population of the Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros, and we shall be unlucky if we do not spot some of these armoured beasts on a jeep safari around the park.

Return to the ship in the afternoon and cruise to a riverside village, which you can explore on foot. Later, cruise down to spend the last night close to the Kurua.

Day04

Cruise down to Pandu port. Disembark after breakfast and transfer to Guwahati airport for final departure.
