breathtaking alpine beauty and for its status as the most popular sport fishing
river in the state. Brahmaputra flows at an average height of 400 In the Tibet
and Himalayan region, this is highest for any major river in the world. Based
upon the flow rate, Brahmaputra is the fifth strongest river in the world;
The Brahmaputra is everything that you imagine a picturesque river to be, It’s beautiful whether you’re into mountainous horizons and lush greenery, navigating through wild rapids or feeling the breeze across the calm and silent river. Wildlife and wilderness are the main features of a cruise in Assam on the vast Brahmaputra river . The river bed is often 20 or 30 km across, an empty world of sand spits and water with marvellous bird life and the occasional Dolphins. The cruises here also give access to a number of India’s National Parks, including Kaziranga, perhaps the finest of all, and Manas, a Project Tiger reserve on the Bhutan border. For a combination of antiquity and beauty the river provides a wide array of ways to explore history and culture, whether on its banks or on a riverboat cruise through its winding waterways. This is one of the classic ways to see huts popularly known as "SANG GHAR" along the riverbanks.
If riverboat cruises are your thing, there are few better ways to explore some of the more stunning river areas. You get a combination of the local rural areas, metropolitan parts and very exotic temples. A breathtaking experience of natural beauty and undiscovered wildlife await here. Not to mention the peace and tranquility of a landscape associated with sages and meditation, people come for rafting & stay in tents at the beach side. Very photogenic & close to the nature.

The Brahmaputra is popularly also called as
'Luhit' or 'Burha Luit' in Assam. It is derived from the word 'Lohit' means
'blood' in Assamese. The river Brahmaputra and it's fertile valley is the
lifeline of Assam. It's is the symbol of power and greatness for the people of
Assam. But equally Brahmaputra has been destructing Assam every year with its devastating
flood. The river's three names, the Brahmaputra (India), Yarlung Zangbo
(Tibet), and Jamuna (Bangladesh), reflect the social fabric of ethnic groups
and international community’s living along its banks. The river is considered
to be a symbol of synthesis of people of all religions, castes and creeds.
'Majuli', the largest island created by a river also resides in the
Brahmaputra. This river island is situated in Assam and around 100 km in
length. Where Brahmaputra enters India
is till date on the most remote and adventurous part of the world. The river
flows rapidly down to the plains from a height of 4000 meters in this
region. The rivers are considered to be
female in India. But the Brahmaputra is the only male river in India.The Brahmaputra is one of those very few major rivers in the world which exhibit 'tidal bore'. It means incoming tides form waves that travel up the river against the direction of the current. This is what called a true 'tidal wave' in geography. This is one of the reasons behind Brahmaputra's enormous strength.
River Brahmaputra is under the
serious threat as a result of the growing Urbanization and industrialization.
The river has been dying at an alarming rate due to the pollution created by
the factories. Large number of industrial units operates from the river basins
which are the main reason for the water pollution. The pollution concern around
Guwahati is increasing day by day, and it's high time to stop it now or we will
have to pay the consequences soon.
