People bathe in the Ganges River in India, obviously, as the majority of the river is located in India. People bathe there as followers of the Hindu religion believe it will purify them of any negative energy.

Are Ganges River Dolphins tricky to spot or would you often see them on river cruises?

You'd have to do a pretty specialist trip to see them. There are some excellent riverboat trips on the Ganges. It's not something we do as they tend to be pretty high-end. We just see the Ganges at Varanasi. Great place but no self-respecting dolphin would be keen of swimming there.

Why is the Ganges river a sacred place for hindus?

Hindus consider the Ganges as a holy river because they believe that the Ganges had been sent by the god Shankar, because he was pleased by a sage who wanted the region to have water. The river had came from heaven, so if they worship the river it would not dry. They bathe in the river because it is considered to remove all the curses and sins of life.
