Exploring India by boat offers some wonderful opportunities to see sites and scenery inaccessible by road. In Kerala, sail along the quiet rivers and lagoons of the northern backwaters aboard a traditional rice barge allows you to immerse yourself in local culture. Alternatively, head to the northeast to embark on a cruise on the Ganges, Hugli or Brahmaputra Rivers to visit remote villages, river islands and national parks.
Cruise durations are varied and all vessels have specialist guides and managers on board.
