India's Brahmaputra River is the 29th longest river in the world at 2,948 km long, and has a discharge of 19,200 cubic litres per second which puts northern India's great waterway in the top 10 when it comes to volume. This is a massive waterway, being the only river on Earth clearly visible from the moon during the Apollo missions. Flowing down from central Tibet through the legendary Tsangpo gorges, the Brahmaputra river opens out as it enters Assam to flow across that state and then through Bangladesh to flow out through the vast Sundarbans Delta, merging with the Ganges River, as they discharge into the Bay of Bengal.

The Brahmaputra river may be little-navigated today, but in colonial times steamer services operated as far as Dibrugarh. The river in places can be up to 20 miles wide and in the monsoon it floods the entire Assam plain. Indeed, East Bengal is not called “the wettest place on the planet" for nothing – it literally does have the world’s highest rainfall.

The river is so vast that any river cruise expedition undertaken here can be movingly wondrous, as you pass through this great emptiness of water, sand and shoal. Passengers of our Brahmaputra river cruises enjoy their trips in peace and tranquility with very little human activity on the riverbank. That means the wild life and bird life are profuse.

Thank you for making this trip truly exceptional for us

David Aube

Good morning.

We have just completed the Pagan and Upper Irrawaddy river cruise which started on October 22 and it was the most fantastic cruise that we have ever taken.

We could not have asked for anything more on this fabulous cruise, the food was wonderful, the teak boat was beautiful and very comfortable and two staff members made this trip a wonderful experience.

Harry the guide was absolutely exceptional. He was engaging in his conversations and is just a wealth of knowledge concerning his country, culture and values. He truly made this experience a memorable one.

The other member was Myo. He has a good sense of hospitality and is a dedicated individuals in all his activities. As a result of a family emergency, Myo had replaced the chief purser and truly did a good job and I strongly believe that he has all the skills necessary to undertake this job full time and will be quite successful at it.

Thank you for making this trip truly exceptional for us.

What a rewarding experience I enjoyed

Julia Caroline Ross

Dear Mr. Strachan,

I have just returned home after a 14 day Pandaw 11 cruise (5/3/16), and what a rewarding experience I enjoyed. Your senior staff and crew could not be faulted for their endless cheerfulness and willingness to help and attend our every need. Pandaw 11 is a delight and so so comfortable, and the dining staff headed by talented chefs delighted at every meal. Every expedition revealed another fascinating facet of life in this very complex country, and I was quite overawed by the might and the variety of life both on and off the river. We had an excellent mix of passengers and a couple of memorable nights when the sounds of "ABBA" rang all over the ship, and on the beach cocktail night we managed to get many of the crew, including the Captain , up and dancing. Perhaps you have already heard about that! My congratulations to you and your company for the contribution to the communities, and a huge thankyou to the crew of Pandaw 11...I very much hope that there will be another cruise in the not too far distant future.
