This year, <strong>JTI</strong> Group turns 29 and continues to be recognised as a forerunner in East India’s tourism and<br />
hospitality industry, offering incredible experiences with our collection of brands in wildlife and birding,<br />
cultural immersion tours, river cruising, boutique lodges and resorts, and textile and handicrafts. To date, we<br />
are the first and only company based in Northeast India to have won the National Tourism Award.<br />
Constantly looking to improve and grow our products and services, we have a number of exciting news to share.<br />
Under Eastern Odyssey, we have launched MV Rudra Singha, our new elegant houseboat that now makes it<br />
possible to cruise the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra river to areas hitherto unexplored by boat.<br />
Assam Bengal Navigation, the pioneer in Indian river cruising, turns 15 this year. As India’s first, largest and<br />
most experienced river cruise operator, we are proud to announce that we have begun design work on our<br />
fourth cruise ship that will set sail on the Ganges in due course.<br />
In April 2016, the state of Assam was honoured when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, HRH Prince<br />
William and Catherine Middleton, chose to visit Kaziranga National Park. And that the royal family chose to<br />
stay at Diphlu River Lodge, our boutique safari lodge, further reaffirms our ecotourism ethos and standards<br />
of excellence.<br />
<strong>JTI</strong> Group has always maintained that as our family of brands grows, the local communities that support<br />
us in our tourism endeavours too should grow. Under Assam Bengal Navigation, we have set up ABN<br />
Foundation, pledging to contribute 5% of all bookings to the causes of local community development,<br />
wildlife conservation and environment protection.<br />
This brochure aims to provide just a flavour of what’s on offer in Eastern India. This region is fast-emerging as<br />
the next favoured destination, offering discerning travellers fascinating experiences to write home about.<br />
We look forward to welcoming you to Eastern India!<br />
