There are few parts of the world that have not just the sights, sounds and indeed feel of the India, but also a history and a culture to match. What better way to explore than on a cruise?

 

The Brahmaputra River is quite rightly one of the most iconic rivers in the world and is surely only second to the Ganges in terms of importance to the Indian people. While New Delhi is the capital and Mumbai is the up-and-coming economic powerhouse of the “New India,” there are many less-known but perhaps more beautiful parts of this part of the world so steeped in culture.

 

With a reputation and history of providing guests with a wonderful experience, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection comes highly recommended.

 

There is so much more to explore and there may be no better way to do so than from the deck of a gently cruising riverboat.

 

This country, the second-most populous in the world after China, is one of the few countries that can claim to be a sub-continent. Its importance to the British Empire can still be seen today, more than half a century after independence. India is as a country as endlessly fascinating as it can be frustrating, yet magical in equal measure, and a cruise will allow you to experience the country’s Golden Triangle without having to deal with the notoriously bad Indian traffic.

 

After the hustle and bustle of New Delhi, the Taj Mahal and the hard sell in Agra and the regal Jaipur, a berth on a fine riverboat will be just the tonic to reflect and relax.

 

If you do choose to take a 13-day trip from Delhi to Kolkata through the Golden Triangle we highly doubt you will regret it.
