MV Mahabaahu Cruise
Assam
The world’s only river cruise navigating under the shadows of over 7,000 meters high snow-covered Himalayan mountains. One of just three navigable rivers cruising through a national park – Kaziranga National park where you do various kinds of safaris to view a population of 2,000+ single horned rhinos, 3,000+ wild buffaloes, 1,500+ elephants, 115+ tigers, many species of deers, freshwater dolphins, 472 species of birds and many other mammals, reptiles, turtles, etc meandering through the largest riverine island system on Earth.
Adding to the spectacular natural heritage and natural history is the amazing living cultures of the colourful Assamese people who are famous for their beautiful silk weaving, colourful textiles, vibrant festivals and hospitable and curious nature. Their temples, monasteries, villages of both the tribals and the traditional communities with bamboo huts and a lifestyle in symphony with nature are wonderful to visit. With lively traditional music and dance these people live a life full of celebrations and joy. The tea plantations where the famous English Breakfast Black Tea grows are like carpets of green set against dense jungles of teak and silk cotton trees where the Big Five mammals of Assam roam.
