through the Brahmaputra waters to reach Tarabari Ghat. From here, we drive
to the Manas National Park, a famous World Heritage Site, known for its
tiger count, that reaches 80, that cosily live in the green and serene
surroundings in the foothills of Himalayas. We will then take you for a
small boat ride on river Manas, to spot wildlife as we sail through. Among

meal in the Bansbari Lodge.

breeze and twittering of birds. The grandeur of the forest just attracts you
for another adventure trail, so we take you for an elephant ride to observe

we will drive back to our vessel that stands below the great bridge at
Jogighopa. From there we travel to the famous archaeological site of Sri
Surya Pathar, to gain insights about the stone and rock carvings on the
sacred Buddhist and Hindu temples.
On the fourth day, we take you for the smaller pleasures of the
area. You can enjoy a quiet morning on the ship, a bird-watching experience
and get a glimpse of the Gangetic Dolphins, if you are the lucky one. The
day also has something else in store for you. You will also get to get a
glimpse of the other side of India, as you tour around one of the villages
of the city to observe the culture and lifestyles of the locals.
On day 5, as you finish you breakfast, the vessel reaches the river
port of Dhubri, known for its cultural and heritage sites. Here you can
