Ganges River
Flowing through India and Bangladesh, the Ganges River is over 1500 miles long and holds sacred meaning in Hinduism. Along it's shores, an ancient bathing ritual is performed which pays homage to ancestors, and it's waters are coveted for containing mystical properties. An increasingly popular destination for river cruises, a trip down the river gives a unique view of the country and many ways in which the Ganges is essential to everyday life.
