Brahmaputra

1.     Whereas most Indian rivers are associated with the female gender, the Brahmaputra meaning the ‘son of Brahma’ is a male river.

2.    Mythologically, he was mothered by Amogha, the wife of sage Shantanu.

3.   It takes birth in the Angsi Glacier near Mount Kailash in the Himalayas in Tibet, waters almost 3000 kms of China, and flows through India to merge with the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh.

4.    When Himalayan snows melt in spring, the river churns to create floods.

5.     The Brahmaputra is a very navigable river with ferries and boats crossing it.

6.    Trees of mango, papaya, plantains and jackfruit dot the Assam Valley.

7.    You’ll be able to wander through bamboo thickets, mangroves, nipa palms and salt tolerant vegetation in locales where the river drains through Bangladesh and the Nipa Valley.

8.    Rhinos, tigers and elephants roam the Assam swamps.

9.    The river blesses its banks with fertile alluvial soil.

10.                       The Brahmaputra receives very heavy rainfall and thunderstorms lash it.
