Description
The mighty Brahmaputra River in Northern India originates high in the Himalayas before flowing through the scenic Assam Valley where UNESCO protected national parks and remote rural communities provide travellers with the most wonderful and authentic expedition. Sailing 7-nights along this vast and changeable river, those coming from elsewhere in India will feel they have been transported to another world as the riverbanks extend beyond view and occasional sandstorms make it seem like we are sailing through a desert.
Visiting two national Park we sail lazily through Nameri National Park to spot a vast array of birdlife, whilst during a full day jeep safari at Kaziranga National Park, we encounter vast numbers of protected mammals including the Indian One-Horned rhino and, famously spotted on one expedition but extremely rare, the Bengal Tiger.
Assam is also home to a deep and colourful culture which we encounter both on land and onboard with dances and performances from local performers, explained by our experienced Assamese guides. This is truly an adventure unlike any other.
Meet your host, Kylie
Set sail along the mighty Brahmaputra with Kylie, Wild Earth Travel’s reservation coordinator and all-round travel expert, who has worked in the travel industry for more than 20 years.
Kylie has experienced an array of the world’s wonders, but India stands out as one of her all-time favourite destinations. “I visited the Rajasthan area and just loved the whole experience – the culture, people, history…”
On this journey, Kylie is excited to share her love of India with Wild Earth travellers and also the opportunity to experience a side of India rarely encountered. “I can’t wait to go wildlife watching along the Brahmaputra River and have the chance to safari in two national parks – I hope we are one of the lucky few who get to see the Indian Tiger in the wild!”
