The river voyage will not just be limited to India but also will cover areas of Bangladesh. The river voyage will begin from the holy city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and will cover over 50 tourist sites, including the world heritage sites, enter Bangladesh, cover roughly few kilometers through the country and then enter India back again, terminating the cruise in Dibrugarh, Assam.

The whole trip from Varanasi to Dibrugarh through Bangladesh will span over almost 2 months, 50 days exactly. The move is taken by the government to boost the development of the country’s inland waterways. Thanks to the extensive river voyage, both India and Bangladesh will fall on the world’s cruise map.
