Ganges Cruises

Ganges cruises can be taken separately or together to offer a choice of durations from three to 15 nights (by combining two itineraries). Ganges and Lower Ganges (Hooghly) cruises are all about visits to villages, towns, temples and monuments in a little-known but fascinating and culturally rich part of India, on foot, by cycle rickshaw or minicoach.

Cruises on the Lower Ganges operate all year round, while the Ganges proper cruises operate in the winter months only. Due to river conditions, we cruise all the way up to Varanasi only in the months of August and September.
