Brahmaputra Upstream | Guwahati To Neamati (Jorhat)
The 7-night MV Mahabaahu Brahmaputra River Cruise offers an extraordinary journey through Assam’s scenic and cultural heart. Beginning in Guwahati with a visit to Kamakhya Temple, the voyage sails past lush islands and vibrant villages, featuring visits to jute mills, tea estates, weaving communities, and the tribal Mishing village. Guests experience thrilling elephant and jeep safaris in Kaziranga National Park, explore the Majuli Island monasteries, and visit the Ahom monuments in Sivasagar. With yoga sessions, Assamese cuisine, cultural performances, and a home-hosted lunch at a tea estate, this cruise beautifully combines nature, wildlife, heritage, and authentic Assamese hospitality.
Arrive at Guwahati Airport by 1100 hrs, where our representatives receive you for a drive to the sacred Kamakhya Temple, dedicated to the Goddess of Desire. After this spiritual visit, continue to the MV Mahabaahu cruise vessel.
A warm welcome awaits as you are escorted to your cabin, followed by lunch on board. We soon sail past the Saraighat Bridge, the narrowest stretch of the mighty Brahmaputra River, and glide by Peacock Island, surrounded by Guwahati’s picturesque hills.
Spend the afternoon settling in, and in the evening, gather on the Sun Deck for a sundowner toast to the Brahmaputra, keeping an eye out for playful Gangetic Dolphins.
Later, attend a safety briefing and an orientation on ship facilities over refreshing Assam tea. The evening continues in the lounge with drinks, followed by a Chef’s Welcome Dinner in the ship’s restaurant, Mungri Mungram.
After dinner, guests may relax in the lounge or retire to their cabins.
