Steppes Travel is made by the people who work here. Incredible holidays are made possible because of their vast travel experience and the great enthusiasm they bring to their work.
We carefully select our experts based on their knowledge, companionship and influence, ensuring that you can travel with the most knowledgeable leaders in the field.
The people who lead the way when it comes to those things which matter to us: exploration, the environment, women’s empowerment and education.
For the curious traveller, rivers have a strong and somewhat, romantic allure. Follow their course and you are sure to discover people with a fascinating history, culture and solid sense of place.
The Ganges is no exception, and with the launch of Nauka Villas, an elegant one-bedroom wooden ship, you can discover the Ganges in exclusive style. This boat is sure to take romantic river cruising to a new level.
With one luxury suite and eight crew members to wait on your every need, what is not to like? Coupled with exclusive access to temples and sites that are virtually impossible to reach by other means.
Expect hand-painted murals adorning the walls, teak floors, antiques, fine silver and china. The top deck begs for sun salutations to start the sleepy mornings. Excursions are privately guided and arranged to suit your interests each day. Visit untouched sites and communities. Or just sit on your private deck and just watch as the villages slip away. The crew of eight are outstanding and your private chef is able to prepare delicious European and Indian cuisine. The Nakau Vilas is a totally tailormade cruising experience. This is India cruising at its most intimate and most comfortable.
Journey along various sections of the Ganges, Bhagirathi and Hooghly rivers.
Heritage River Journeys collectively support the Village Zero Rubbish Project and are actively involved in the promotion of Responsible Tourism Activities. At ground roots, the company is involved in education projects through Calcutta Rescue and Tiljala Shed, two NGOs which work with vulnerable children and their families.
