Travelers
and backpackers have this strange fascination for rivers. A river is not just a
stretch of water body for them, but a mean to connect with the past and to bore
into the culture and civilization of the country. So, there are certain rivers
which have this holier-than-thou reputation and are tourist attractions in
their own rights.
Here
are 3 rivers which you must see if you love traveling:
a. Nile: The Nile River in Egypt
holds secrets
which have been untold and undiscovered. The Nile is one of the most historic
rivers in the world and has served as the birth place for Egyptian
civilization. Nile cruises are highly coveted for more than one reason.
Firstly, the river has some sort of an enigmatic charm to it. When you are
navigating through the Nile, you are actually traveling down the valleys of
history. Secondly, Nile cruises can be extremely luxurious and provide
excellent opportunities to view the pyramids and temples of the country.
Thirdly, as far as natural beauty is concerned, Nile has always had an
indomitable run in this context. No wonder, it has been documented by some of
the top channels like Discovery and National Geographic.
b. Amazon: Amazon River is known for
two reasons. Firstly, it is the most voluminous river in the world. And
secondly and more interestingly, it is home to the famed Amazon Rainforest that
houses some incredible creatures like the anacondas and jaguars. So, an ardent
backpacker will always love to visit this river some day.
c. Ganga or Ganges: As compared to the history and luxury Nile cruises, a boat-ride on the River Ganges
in India offers a glimpse into the land of spirituality. An extremely holy
river, Ganga is also on every traveler’s wish list.
