The Brahmaputra river rafting expedition is a gem among challenging expeditions on Asian rivers. Paddling through a series of grade III+ and IV rapids on the 9th largest river in the world tests an adventurer's skill and stamina at every turn.

Adventure blends with the virtually untouched scenic landscape of remote Arunachal Pradesh, around a high-volume river and through almost inaccessible tropical gorges.

Live your adventure dream to the fullest with yoga and camping on pristine white sandy beaches and paddling on the Brahmaputra River while your team of expert guides take care of the details on the water and on the ground.
