Flowing over 2,525 kilometres from the majestic Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, the Ganges is India’s most iconic and sacred river. Revered for thousands of years, it has shaped the nation’s history, spirituality, culture, and commerce while sustaining millions of lives along its banks.
A journey along the Ganges reveals an ever-changing landscape of ancient temples, UNESCO World Heritage sites, grand colonial landmarks, vibrant riverside towns, and diverse wildlife habitats. From the spiritual ceremonies of Varanasi to the royal heritage of Murshidabad and the cultural energy of Kolkata, every bend of the river tells a remarkable story.
