RV Bengal Ganga, a luxury river cruise in India As I was sitting on the top deck, the cool wind gently brushed against my face, reminding me what a great decision I had made by booking a cruise trip with RV Bengal Ganga.
I am a frequent traveler and was looking forward to this Cruise in India, however, this particular cruise exceeded all my expectations. Since this was a new endeavour, at first, I was a little skeptical about the experiences that I would set out on. Everything changed as soon as I entered the RV Bengal Ganga and I was never more certain about my decision. As soon as I boarded, I received a very warm welcome.

They belong to the family Accipitridae and are widely distributed geographically and vary in size. The Indian Hawk is a small size predator found in forests and dry areas. The hawks occupy every type of habitat in India from grasslands and fields to forests and wetlands. But they prefer open areas as it is most suited for their hunting style. On the Lefebvre IQ scale based on innovations in feeding habits of birds as designed by the famed Canadian ornithologist Louis Lefebvre, hawks are among the most intelligent birds.
Like most birds, hawks are also tetrachromats having four types of colour receptors or cone cells in the eyes giving them the ability to perceive even the ultraviolet spectrum along with the ability to detect polarized light and magnetic fields and an ability to magnify the central field of vision thanks to its highly visual-centric brain.
