Brahmaputra, one of the great rivers of the world, originates in Tibet, through India to Bangladesh where it flows into the Bay of Bengal and is considered holy by Hindus & Buddhists alike. This is the greatest river island system with the smallest and largest inhabited islands of the world located here. It is the only navigable river of the world under the shadows of over 7,000 meter high, towering snow-covered Himalayan mountains. This is also, the only river apart from the Zambezi River in Africa from which elephant, jeep and boat safaris can take place in the Kaziranga National Park, described as the Serengeti of India.
