M V Mahabaahu's upstream journey starts from Assam’s most bustling city of Guwahati and then slowly proceeds to take in the popular highlights. Our first stop is the Kamakhya Temple – a beautiful way to start our journey as we immerse ourselves in Assam’s ancient traditions. We then set sail for the adventure of a lifetime involving nature, wildlife, culture and so much more. Nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts have been drawn to Assam for ages. The state consists of a variety of landforms like the foothills of the Himalayas, the vast North Indian plains and a minor plateau. This geographical diversity coupled with a tropical climate has made Assam home to a horde of animal and plant species. The region is drained by the mighty Brahmaputra River, which originates in Tibet and flows into the Bay of Bengal. Along its course, the river makes its way through thickly-forested hills, especially in Assam, and they are ideal to see the rich wildlife of the state. The river too supports a wide array of marine creatures, and to see them, a Brahmaputra river cruise is a great option.
