Sailing further into the Assam valley than ever before, Pandaw's new 10 night Full Brahmaputra expedition is a true adventure.

This is a trip unlike any other and only available thanks to Pandaw's ultra low draft vessels.From September 2024, Pandaw is happy to announce that our India expeditions will be all-inclusive, with complimentary local beers, spirits, mixers and soft drinks for all guests. Also included free of charge is select house wines during lunch and dinner only. Subject to availability.

Stepping ashore in Mayang, a sizeable village along the shores of the Brahmaputra, we learn about the history of magic and sorcery that was prevalent in the region.

We are then welcomed into the home of a local Mayang resident for a discussion and perhaps demonstration of some tricks.

Our expedition continues with a visit to the UNESCO accredited Kaziranga National Park where we enjoy a full day Jeep safari searching for Indian One-Horned Rhinos, Buffalos, Elephants plus a host of birdlife, including hornbills and kingfishers.

7 - Majuli
Arrive at the ancient town of Majuli on what is the world’s largest river island and home to the ethnic ‘Mishing’ people.

After lunch ashore, we travel to Auniati monestary to witness a special drum performance from the monks.
