River Cruise On the Brahmaputra Tour Package

Package Overview

One of the Most Compelling Description of the Brahmaputra River Can Be Found in a Literary Piece By Writer Dianne Sharma Winter. She Writes,

“there is a Saying that Goes ‘if You Cross the Brahmaputra One Time You are Destined to Return’. There are a Lot of Legends and Prophesies Floating with the Current of the Mighty Brahmaputra River as It Tracks It’s Course from Tibet Onto Bangladesh, Roaring Down Through Narrow Chasms and Gobbling Up Land in Its Hunger to Reach the Sea. a River as Wide as An Ocean, Blood Red with Stories of Sacrifice and Patricide, Unusually for a River It is Male in Its Aspect and Unusually for India, It is Not a Holy River But Often Referred to as the Old Man River.

apart from One Day a Year When the Qualities of the Water Become Divine Enough to Wash Away the Sins of a Devotee, Brahmaputra Spends His Life Washing Away the Efforts of Man Whether Sinful or Not. There Still Remains a Divine Union Between the Brahmaputra and Mother Nature, the Fruits of Their Union Visible in the Verdant Jungles and Fields So Green that They Could Only have Been Painted By the Co-ordinate Efforts of Man in Harmony with Nature. Brahmaputra is Not a River that Will Be Easily Tamed; It is a River that Demands Respect and Submission.

rare It is to Find a Reference to this River Without the Word “mighty’ Attached to It. a River of Sorrow and Munificence, the River is the Blending and Balance of Our Human Lives Measured Against the Flow of Time. Every Year Hundreds of People are Taken By the Swift Flow of Flood as the River Swells with Monsoon Rain and Thousands More are Nourished By the Rich Silt Deposits Left in Its Wake. if a River is the Highway of Life, Cultures and Commerce – Then the Brahmaputra is Beyond Par in this Respect.”

this 7 Nights Cruise Over the Mighty Upper Reaches of the Brahmaputra River Will Make Time Stop and Immerse You in the Magical Landscapes that Surround the River in Its Silent Course Through the Vast and Verdant Plains of Assam.
