MV Mahabaahu

Wonderful experience 

A relaxing time after Bhutan week

Assamese welcome introduced us to wonderful fusion of spices that was to follow

Different regional cuisines every night preceded by wonderful cocktail drinks

Had a magical bonfire evening on a sandbank of deserted island where we floated oil lamps in reverence to the Brahmaputra

Another night we dressed up in the provided Assamese formal attire and danced to the music before a delicious Assamese dinner whilst at the Kaziranga National park we saw the one horned rhino, elephants crossing the river as well as several birds

We also visited several villages, where we were met with huge smiles and excited children

We concluded our trip by having lunch at a tea estate and an informative walk round the garden as well as a talk about the difference between the various teas

It was a very relaxing trip with plenty to see and do accompanied by lovely and  very helpful crew who always welcomed us with great smiles

Would definitely recommend it

Loved the opportunity to sail through a part of India where I could see both various wildlife in their natural environment and observe local village life.  Our shore excursions were very interesting both culturally and nature wise. 

 At Kaziranga National Park, we had an early morning elephant safari, followed by an afternoon jeep safari.  For me the highlight of the experience was twofold.  Spotting a tiger with its prey was so exciting as was riding an elephant.  Sitting astride a nursing mother, while learning about the habits of female elephants was also thrilling.  Watching rhinos with their young was great.  For bird watchers these safaris were fantastic.

We had the opportunity to visit some villages where we could observe women weaving, visit local markets, talk with students and generally observe village life.  We were able to  enter temples and homes, plus we saw several local performances.  In addition, our meals on the ship exposed us to local cuisine, which I found great.  While on the ship, we also experienced local music and dances, which complemented our onshore experiences. The overall service we received onboard was excellent.

Sailing Up the Brahmaputra River

This was part of a larger tour. This was definitely the best part. 

Cute boat, we only had about 24 guests on board and probably 10-12 staff. 

This was a once in a lifetime experience for us.  There were no docks, we just pulled up at the side of the sand banks and tenthered for the night. There were no set times or places, we just went according to the tides. We stopped at Majuli island and walked around the village. An amazing and eye opening experience :  we visited Jute factories, tea plantations, nature reserves, amongst other places. 

The boat was dark timber but quite modern. Our balcony room (110) was a great size ..plenty of room and storage , with a balcony which was great for the washing. Food was Indian with plenty to suit western palates. We had BBQ ‘s and drinks out on the Sandhills. Just wonderful ...

Staff.... Excellent tour manager and Naturalist onboard. All staff , so friendly and accommodating... 

can’t rave about this trip enough.  The calm after the madness of the GOLDEN TRIANGLE part of the trip. 

We went jan/feb 2015
