MV Mahabaahu

Kaziranga National Park

Assam

A cruise on the M.V. Mahabaahu along the holy Brahmaputra River in India’s north-eastern states offers you a real insight into the region’s rich cultural heritage, ever-changing landscape and a plethora of India’s most well-known land and marine creatures – not just the Big 5 mammals but also the Big 5 birds! It is the only other river in the world, besides Zambezi, where jeep, elephant and boat safaris are possible. This ten-metre wide and 55-metre long liner has five decks, three of which have comfortable en-suite berths. However, the daily shore excursions are the real joy, apart from the wildlife stops at Kaziranga; and visits to Kamakhya temple, tea estates, ghats, and monasteries. Choose from a variety of travel packages ranging from week-long expedition cruise to a three-night Guwahati return circuit incorporating the Kaziranga National Park. While onboard, guests ca...n rejuvenate themselves at the in-house spa, hit the sauna or jacuzzi, take some time out for yoga and massages, and even indulge in some exquisite culinary experiences. The cruise’s unique onboard bakery supplies freshly-baked goodies every morning.
