SINGAPORE, 5 January 2024: River cruise specialist Pandaw is releasing some additional staterooms for a unique combo exploration across India during April 2024.
Sailing far beyond any passenger craft up the Brahmaputra River to Dibrugarh, the first leg of this special combo will be an in-depth discovery adventure of the Brahmaputra. After flying to Kolkata, our journey will continue down into the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest, before sailing through West Bengal along the Hooghly River, ending in Kolkata.
This one-time combo expedition departing this April has limited availability and will not be repeated. The cruise takes guests further up the mighty Brahmaputra than previously offered before embarking on a 10-night Sundarbans and Hooghly expedition highlighting the vast mangrove forest.
