CRUISING TOURS
Cruises on the mighty river Brahmaputra
The Brahmaputra, as the river is known in
Assam, has its origin in Tibet. It flows through the breadths of Assam &
joins the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh. The true source of the
Brahmaputra lies in the ranges of the Chemayungdung mountains, some sixty
miles south east of mount Kailash, being India’s most sacred mountain,
revered as the home of Lord Shiva, one of the three main Gods of the Hindus.
The Brahmaputra or Lohit (Red River) is known as Tamchok or Horse River in
Western Tibet, the Tsangpo in central and eastern Tibet, the Siang in
Arunachal Pradesh, the Jamuna, the Padma and finally the Meghna during its
course in Bangladesh. In total the Brahmaputra covers some 1800 miles from
its origin till the end.

The Brahmaputra is considered as tears in the
monsoons as it creates havoc.
At the same time it brings in prosperity to
the land. It was this Brahmaputra that decided the fate of Assam
with the great battle of Saraighat being fought on this river at Guwahati
in the seventeenth century between the invading Mughal forces of Emperor
Aurangzeb from Delhi under the command of Rajput King Of Amber Raja Ram
Singh & the defending Ahom forces, under Ahom commander Lachit Barphukan.
The defeat of the Mughal forces permanently sealed any major expedition
and thus Assam survived from coming under the Mughal rule.
