Brahmaputra River, Assam – ABN Sukapha

Assam Bengal Navigations second ship “ABN Sukapha” joined “ABN Charaidew” in Assam in October 2006. We have respected the fragile environment of the River Brahmaputra and resisted the temptation to build a larger ship. Our maximum group size of 24 is well-matched to the numbers of riding elephants available in National Parks along the valley, while the need to use jeeps to access the river beaches also limits group size. A result is an ideal number for fostering a friendly house party atmosphere on board.
