Dear Adventurer,
Western explorers and travelers in the Tsang Po gorges owe a debt of gratitude to those who have preceded
them, from the region's earliest inhabitants - the Mishmi and Abor people who moved into the gorges from the south and east, centuries ago, and later arrivals like the Monpa - to the small and steady stream of Buddhist pilgrims who have been traveling to the region they call 'Pemako" or 'Lotus of Great bliss", since the 16th century.
Retracing part of their steps, here is a trip that stands tall among the best adventure trips on the planet, also rated on National Geographic's Adventure Ratings! If you think you have been there & done that, & if you haven't seen the wilds of Arunachal Pradesh up close, you may want to read on. No wonder, Outside Magazine calls it the Best Indian Adventure. We have indeed saved the best for last, with the Siang (Upper Brahmaputra) river from Nov 16-28, 2013. Followed closely by Asia's last wilderness river, the stunningly beautiful Subansari river. As far as raft expeditions go, it really doesn't get bigger than this. Also, the Dec 19-22 You For Uttarakhand Race is closing in.

| The Siang / Upper Brahmaputra Descent : Nov 16-28, 2013 |  |
 Be an expedition member on one of the top rafting expeditions in the world - if you haven't been here, you have truly missed out on one of the hidden gems of Asia.
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 27-Dec 08, 2013 | |
 Asia's last wilderness river has come under a big dam. Fortunately by conservationists and river runners, major resistance to the dam has delayed its operations, and we have the river to ourselves for a bit longer. The Subansari 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 a new year. Sadly, the Subansari will be lost to us forever sooner than later, so come get yourself a piece for posterity. Read More... |
