Our Story

A traditional cruise, kept genuinely premium

Gungchil River Cruise carries forward the old rhythm of river life around Purbachal — the kind that once moved goods and gossip along the Shitalakshya — and shapes it into an unhurried day of leisure for the modern traveller.

Every voyage pairs open water and fresh air with genuine comfort: shaded cabins, home-style meals, a resort to swim and unwind in, and destinations chosen for their character rather than convenience.

Private cabins, curated meals, attentive crew.

Untouched Nature

Rooted in Tradition
