Experience the magic of the Dolphin Boat Safari at Silghat, a serene corner of the mighty Brahmaputra River near Kaziranga National Park. Silghat offers a rare blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and an intimate connection to Assam’s natural heritage.

This experience brings you close to the endangered Gangetic River Dolphin, India’s only freshwater dolphin and a species vital to the ecosystem. These intelligent and graceful creatures, often called the “sentinels of the river,” can be spotted playfully surfacing in the calm waters.

As your boat navigates the river, you’ll also witness the vibrant birdlife that thrives along the banks, from Brahminy Ducks to Kingfishers, and soak in views of Kaziranga’s lush floodplains.
