Day 6: Safari & River Cruise
Morning brings another close encounter with the park’s wildlife, before a tranquil cruise along the Brahmaputra. Watch the river glimmer as elusive dolphins surface, and let the serene scenery invite reflection. Return to your lodge for a dinner under a canopy of stars, where the jungle’s nocturnal chorus sets the scene.

Day 7: Arrival at Glenburn Tea Estate:
