Creator's Key Takeaways

this river cruise is about as far from conventional as you can get and certainly one of the more original and exciting we've experienced so far

the holy Ganges also suffers from terrible pollution which is a deep concern for those that bathe launder clothes and irrigate crops directly from the river banks

it's not for everyone but for those with a thirst for adventure and an understanding of a part of the world that has yet seen Mass tourism it's an absolutely essential trip

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Save your swimming costumes for the Oberoy hotels part of the itinerary because a refreshing paddle is not advised
