REVIEW

The Mighty Brahmaputra river is a magnificent, majestic, awe-inspiring presence.

Cruising upstream on the Sukapha was a phenomenal experience — I spent endless hours, leaning against the deck railings, deeply gazing into the depths of the river, trying to take in a sense of the vastness and feel a magical sense of being a small part of the entire landscape, interwoven into the multi-dimensional tapestry of the Universe!

Everyday, against the backdrop of the stunning sunsets our fun and lively group of 22 wanderers gathered on the deck to bond over chatting & laughter, music & drinks, deep discussions about every conceivable subject, sun-drenched long snoozes on the river facing loungers, and on and on…

The staff on the Sukapha were exceptionally caring of our needs. No issue was big enough to faze them. No request was ever overlooked. They all went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of the smallest of details.
