  1. Day 1 Saraighat Bridge and embark the ship

    Mid noon transfer to port close to the great Saraighat Bridge and embark the ship. Enjoy lunch while cruising downstream to the little town of Sualkuchi, where the clatter of looms gives a clue to the town’s industry. Post-lunch, walk through the village and visit its silk-weaving workshops and observe the whole process of silk manufacture, from cocoon and spinning to dyeing and hand-weaving into exquisite mekhela chadars (a two-piece sari, the traditional attire of Assamese women).​​
    Return back to ship. Dinner and overnight on board

  2. Day 2 City of Guwahati

    Morning breakfast and cruise towards Pandu docks for a short sightseeing tour of the city of Guwahati. Drive (by coach) to Nilachal Hill to the Kamakhya temple. This ancient Hindu temple is dedicated to the Mother Goddess and is known for its unique architecture and cultural significance. Join us for a leisurely stroll around the temple’s exteriors and soak in the rich history and spirituality that define this sacred place. Visit the poignant Commonwealth War Graves cemetery as well as a shop selling local crafts. You’ll then reboard and cruise past Kurua on the north bank.

  3. Day 3 Mayong River

    Morning breakfast and cruise past jungle-covered hills and turn into the Mayong River. Here you’ll take a country boat for a kilometre or two to the roadhead from where you’ll be driven to Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary. This small park has a dense population of the Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros with a jeep safari around the park. Return to the ship in the afternoon and cruise to a riverside village, which you can explore on foot. Later, sail to spend the last night close to Kurua. Lunch, dinner and overnight on board.
