Guwahati, India

Guwahati owes its existence to its lush riverfront. Ancient cities stood on these banks, drawing their livelihood from the Brahmaputra’s waters. Today, this legacy can be seen in the boats that navigate Guwahati’s harbor and the temples, including the renowned Hindu Kamakhya Temple, that cluster near its shores and on its island. Markets pop up along the water, with stalls featuring woven bowls, fruit and chop, a dish of mashed and fried potatoes served with chutney. From the decks of boats sailing the Brahmaputra, the daily life of villages lining the river can be glimpsed. After breakfast, disembark your ship and head to the airport for your flight.

Delhi, India

Arrive and check in to your hotel. Delhi’s rich history has given rise to a vibrant culinary scene. The Mughal Empire introduced kebabs and biryani, a dish of savory, well-spiced meat and rice. The city itself is responsible for the creation of chole bhature, a spicy chickpea curry served with fried bread and chutney, and murgh makhani, or butter chicken, one of India’s most famed dishes. Its vegetarian counterpart, dal makhani, is another favorite that hails from the state of Punjab. Lassi, a refreshing yogurt drink, and kulfi, a creamy cardamom ice cream, are excellent complements to any meal.
