Ningguing Rapid, Siang riverThe Great Brahmaputra Descent Nov 16-28, 2008 
 
Rated as the Top Ten India Adventures by OUTSIDE magazine, with cover stories on Paddler MagazineNew York Times, Action Asia and our 2002 trip documented as a National Geographic Adventure One film, this is our signature trip!       
Aquaterra Adventures invites you to be an expedition member on one of the top rafting expeditions in the world, from Nov 16-28, 2008 on the Upper Brahmaputra   Click here for Slide Show!! 
This trip is a cultural eye-opener travelling through a very remote part of India, beginning with an amazing ferry ride up the gigantic river viewing the Gangetic dolphin and migratory birds ; and a 2-day drive through tropical rainforest and lots more.....Riga
 
After your day-one plunge through a ten-mile stretch with some of the biggest rapids rafted commercially, rapids like 'Pulsating Palsi", you'll be ready to descend the Ningguing and Marmong gorges. You will raft down 'Roaring Rikor" and "Zebra Rock" till the Class 6 "Toothfairy" at Cherring. You will run "Hairy Hari", "Kim Broken Oar" rapids, scout "Moing Madness" and see huge 20 foot plus breakers within arms reach.  You will spend days floating down the beautiful vastness of this river, the 'Son of Brahma", past tribal settlements, run down "Karko Killer" and brace yourself for the final drop at the "Pongging Punch".
Subansari 
 
 
This beautiful river has been first run twice before by Indian army teams in 1994, only once from our slated starting point.
 
Fun Rapid
Our 2006 trip was the first open descent offer of this river, and with a 116 m high hydel dam being built which would span the lower mountain mouth of this beautiful river by Sep 2010, there is little time left to savor this nature's blessing and part take in this unique experience. We are looking forward to a high kayak descent and a first descent from Nacho or upstream on rafts.
Kameng bridge Kameng River Expedition Dec 08-16, 2008
 
NEW TRIP!! Paddle a river only a handful have gone down. The Kameng is isolated, challenging and depending on the river levels, demanding. Originating below the snow capped Gori Chen mountain (6300 metres), the river winds its way down inaccessible gorges and cascades.
Fun Rapid
 
  Our trip takes us down classic big volume whitewater through steep jungle gorges ending at Bhalukpong near the Nameri National Park. 
Bryan Smith on big Lohit drop Lohit River Expedition Dec 08-19, 2008
 
The Lohit river comes into India at the border with China near India's eastern most inhabited tip, at a place called Kibithu. It is a medium volume continuous Class 4+/5 river in its upper alpine reaches and becomes pool drop towards the latter end of the trip.
Fun Rapid
We were part of a trip in February 1994 with the Indian Army and operated the first complete descent of the river in December 2003. This trip is an exploratory kayak expedition suported either by raft / cataraft or land crews wherever possible. 
 
Last Call for Stok Kangri (6153m) Aug 11-20, 2008
A 6,000m / 20,000 ft plus mountain in the Himalayas. Some monastery visits, an acclimatisation trek and a gruelling climb to the summit which offers wide open views of the Karakoram range on the north with the Saser Kangri dominating the sky and Zanskar ranges on the south. Bookings open ! Limited Space.
