Inaugurated with flair in 2019, the ABN Charaidew II sets sail as a uniquely crafted vessel, deftly maneuvering the intricate moods of the grand Brahmaputra River. With a cleverly shallow draught and unassuming stature, this ship ventures where others cannot, journeying upstream with remarkable ease. At 44.5 meters, it embraces a deliberate compactness, fostering an intimate ambiance to host a maximum of 36 guests. This deliberate smallness not only cultivates a close-knit atmosphere but also treads lightly on the delicate ecosystems of these surroundings, a conscientious nod to responsible tourism. Step aboard to discover a haven that mirrors the embrace of Assam, with interiors evoking the refined charm of the Assam Tea planter's era and the rustic allure of rural crafts. Traditional motifs grace handwoven fabrics, breathing life into the essence of homecoming and heritage.
