Dear Traveler,
As 2012 draws into its mid-year canter, we have indeed saved the best for last, with multi-dayers on the Siang (Upper Brahmaputra) river, and the Subansari river in India. As far as raft expeditions go, it really doesn't get bigger than this.
You will travel with the best hands in the business, with career guides, for whom sharing these journeys with you, is not a job, but a way of life. You embark upon a journey far beyond the legendary whitewater, unmatched in scale, safety, and experience, run consistently,
| Pirates and Spirits |
safely and with expertise that forms industry benchmark. Besides being the only outfit that runs the Siang. / Upper Brahmaputra each year, for over a decade, you travel with industry specialists that know the region intimately, and share with you different aspects of travelling into India's little known eastern corner.
If you look at a big river and measured a person's blood pressure, you'd probably find out why the lure of the river had brought so many adventurers together. Few activities require one to process so much data, continuously and quickly, with constant recalibration, as needed while descending the mighty Siang. Watch an exciting trip preview ! Journeying through India's tribal north east, pristine rainforest, and fascinating culture, add to the excitement of running the Brahmaputra, with the 4th largest run-off on planet earth. And of course, an opportunity to run the beautiful Subansari, Asia's last wilderness journey, with a Class 4 plunge from So Nala. 
We hope to see you in the Eastern Himalaya this year!
Warmly,

The Siang / Upper Brahmaputra Descent : Nov 17-29, 2012 |  |
Be an expedition member on one of the top rafting expeditions in the world - honestly, it does not get bigger than this.
The most exciting way to run the Upper Brahmaputra's (or Siang as its known in Arunachal Pradesh) legendary Ningguing and Marmong gorges, is on a 07-day river trip that we offer in Nov-Dec each year, at the primo time of year for this remote corner of India. We welcome first timers too, as this provides a great insight into the river valley and the tribal way of life. 
After your day-one plunge through a ten-mile stretch negotiating rapids like "Ningguing' and 'Pulsating Palsi", you'll be ready to navigate down the Ningguing and Marmong gorges. You will raft encounter the 'Roaring Rikor" and "Zebra Rock", camp on pristine beaches at night, raft down "Moing Madness" and enjoy a wonderful day of rest, relaxation,  reading and savouring this special corner of India. Rated as one of the Top Ten Adventures by OUTSIDE magazine and featured by Paddler Magazine on a cover story this legendary river has seen some off the most fascinating exploration in the last century. Watch a brief preview of this river on a film made on our 2002 expedition, now showing on Adventure One Channel, run by National Geographic. Read More..... |

Subansari River, Asia's Last Wilderness River : Nov 28-Dec 09, 2012 |  |
 Asia's last wilderness river is coming under a big dam at Gerukamukh, Assam, soon. The river has no road artery linking it on either side of the Great Himalayan Range spanning about 150 km. Very difficult terrain with vertical rock faces with only very sparse inhabitation in the belt has kept and continue to keep the upper reaches of this challenging river isolated. This beckoning river is challenging and demanding. Set in a scenic breathtaking environment astride the Eastern Himalayas with its diverse warm-hearted hill people with their unique traditions and customs spread over a millennia, with the inevitable change encroaching upon them rapidly, certainly a great way to ring in the new year. Sadly, the Subansari will be lost to us forever, so come get yourself a piece for posterity. Read More... |
