All India river cruises take place on the Ganges River in northern India. The Ganges River is one of the most known rivers throughout the Indian subcontinent. Mostly because it is thought to be one of the magical rivers, a holy river of Hinduism. Those who visit this river are said to possess great healing powers and even insight. Taking a cruise through the river allows you to see numerous places of interest, but also gather a sense of beauty around you. The river is also known as Ganga and it flows throughout India and into Bangladesh. It originated from the Himalayas and continues to run through these areas to this day. The wide and slow-flowing 1,560-mile stream follows one of the most populated and fertile areas of the world. While shorter India river cruises (such as those for 7 days) normally leave out cities, such as New Delhi and explore attractions, such as Agra (home of the Taj Mahal), and Jaipur, shorter river cruises of 7 days cover destinations, such as Kolkata, Kalna, Matiari, or Murshidabad without the need to connect by air or bus.
