India is blessed with many bountiful rivers, but Assam's Brahmaputra river is undoubtedly the mightiest of them all. Bhramaputra River cruises are all about visits to villages, towns, temples, and monuments in a little-known but fascinating and culturally rich part of India. These slow cruises are designed for 1-2 persons, or a couple with their 2 small children.
Arrive at Uzanbazar Ghat in Guwahati to embark on your ship.
Start sailing towards Peacock Island, one of the smallest inhabited river islands in the world. The beautiful Umananda Temple on the island is dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati; the island is also home to Golden Langurs, a rare species of primate found only in the forests of Assam bordering Bhutan.
After Peacock Island, start sailing towards Aswaklanta Temple, an 18th century hilltop temple. Explore this temple and then walk a little distance to visit a nearby Hindu Vaishnavite Monastery of Auniati Satra.
