Biswanath Ghat, India

A quaint village along the Brahmaputra River, Biswanath Ghat gets its name from the ancient Biswanath temple that was situated here and its Ghat—a set of stairs that lead down to the river’s edge. Selected as India’s Best Tourism Village in 2023, Biswanath Ghat features a collection of temples that dot its streets, including an ancient temple dedicated to Shiva, now mostly ruins that lie along the banks of the Brahmaputra. Intriguing animals, including elephants and the Ganges river dolphin, can be spotted from the shores of this colorful village.

Kaziranga National Park, India

Kaziranga National Park abuts the Brahmaputra River and encompasses over 165 square miles of lush forest, open jungle and grasslands. This diverse landscape was originally set aside in 1908 in an effort to conserve the dwindling population of one-horned rhinos. Now, the park has expanded to include a tiger reserve and serves as a breeding ground for elephants and wild water buffalo. Jeep excursions into Kaziranga National Park offer a chance to glimpse these incredible creatures and learn about the importance of the park’s continued conservation efforts.
