Pandaw Cruises has officially announced adjustments to its Ganges River cruisetour itineraries (effective September 2024) to accommodate navigational modifications along the waterway.
As a prominent river travel company in India and Southeast Asia, Pandaw Expeditions is revising its 14-night "All Ganges" itinerary from Kolkata to Varanasi and the 7-night '"Lower Ganges" itinerary from Kolkata to Farakka.
Additionally, a new 7-night 'Upper Ganges' itinerary will be introduced, exploring the picturesque state of Bihar between Varanasi and Farakka.
Pandaw highlighted that these changes are a result of ongoing efforts to address navigational challenges and align Pandaw operations with the evolving conditions on the Ganges.
The alterations will apply to sailings from September 2024 onward, while all sailings through April 2024, including the Brahmaputra itinerary, will remain unaffected.
The media statement said:
“After years of experience, we now have a very good sense of how best to navigate this most holy of rivers whilst offering discerning travellers the best options to explore this vast country in comfort and style.
“With even more choices and improved itineraries, there has never been a better time to book your next expedition with Pandaw in India.”
