itinerary

River Cruising brings forth a thoroughly refreshing and different perspective of a country to the travellers. Rivers have played a significant role in the expansion and sustenance of civilizations and cultures across the world. Likewise, rivers of India represent a nucleus, around which the lives of people flourish and revolve. What better way to discover a nation than by opting for a river cruising tour to discover those areas that are otherwise rendered inaccessible. River cruising in India is an amalgamation of many interesting activities like tiger spotting, local sightseeing, bird watching and it is also about getting a glimpse of cultural highlights.

Cruise through stunning natural beauty and explore the astounding geography of the region by embarking upon the Ganges Cruising tour. The majestic and highly revered Ganges originates in the western Himalayas and travels almost 2,500 kms to meet the sea in the labyrinths of Sunderbans delta in the Bay of Bengal. Enjoy the best of bygone eras or remnants of the British Raj by experiencing the comfort and grace of the Maharajah suite. The Observation Deck has been precisely designed to offer a great view of the area. Glide along the river to discover the latent beauty of the HooglyImambara. Take a rickshaw ride toexplorethe imposing Rajbari Temple complex and visittheHazarduari Palace that has overa thousand bewitching real and false doors.
