Rivers and their tributaries are storytellers. They bring tales from the lands that they flow through, of the people and creatures that live there. And so does the great Brahmaputra.

The Brahmaputra’s journey through Assam is one wrought with stories.

There are multiple communities that live along and around the mighty river. Some are still trying to strengthen their identities, some have already made their place. But whoever you are, the mighty river forms an indispensable relationship with everything it touches along the way. And it shapes their destiny. The fate of all that lives on the banks or on the islands of this mighty, untamed river, is tied to its moods and changing courses. And they all evolve with the course of the river. They respectfully submit to it and revere it. 

This journey, with a like-minded group of 10, takes you up the river, opening windows into the cultures and stories of the various communities along the river. It will open our minds to what living with uncertainty truly is and how this uncertainty builds resilience and innovation amongst the people. 

You will encounter the wildlife of Kaziranga and the river dolphins, meet the people and communities along the river, understand their traditions and culture, visit the impermanent villages of the Chars that are eroded due to overflowing every monsoon, and encounter their unique lifestyle on and along this unpredictable river. 

For the first 8 days, you will travel and live aboard a luxurious cruise, which in an effort to conserve India’s forests, has bamboo-paneled upper deck cabins, with en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and roomy with locally-made furniture, and other artisanal fares. Your last 2 days will be spent on the island of Majuli in a comfortable homestay. These last two days are optional.
