Review

Brahmaputra Paradise.

I was so amazed by the beauty and peace of the Brahmaputra, I loved the moving sand islands, the nightly bonfires, and the safaris. The meals highlighted lots of Indian food and delicious options. The weather in November was perfection — sunny days and warm nights. The staff were amazing and became our family. I still miss them! This cruise was a life-changing experience — do it!
