There can be no river in the world as sacred as the Ganges and an expedition on the Lower Ganges or Hooghly is one of the world’s prettiest river journeys imaginable.

A rich and vibrant rural life abounds and there is never a dull moment as you sedately ply this pleasant waterway.
A decade ago, for the first time since colonial times, Pandaw pioneered river expeditions in India. Since then they have depended on modern style and often impractically designed partnerships. They are now able to offer an original Pandaw ship, vastly more suited to river expeditions in the tropics and far more comfortable too.
