Join us for this iconic expedition on one of the world’s great rivers. The Brahmaputra (or Siang) is a continuation of the magical Tsangpo as it flows through Tibet, it dissects the Himalaya before it enters the Arunachal Pradesh in the far north eastern corner of India. We begin our expedition just inside the line of control with China at the village of Tuting and travel the 180 kilometres of challenging river though to Pasighat through the world class rapids of the Marmung Gorges. If you have done the Zambezi and are looking for your next whitewater challenge, this trip offers some of the best, and most inaccessible whitewater in the world. The adventure takes us through remote villages dotted with tribal settlements amidst the stunning jungle clad hillsides. We offer an alternate rafting based adventure to the Zanskar River in Northern India.
