Kameng River Rafting expeditions

Enter the last border of the North Eastern part of India. The Kameng River in Arunachal Pradesh is a branch of the Brahmaputra. It has been accessible for river rafting and kayaking only lately and a trip on this river will take you through lush rainforests that surround some of the finest white water in the country and world.

The North Eastern part of India receives a great amount of water and this reflects in the remarkable whitewater the rivers offer here. The experience of the good rapids on the river is only surpassed by the green beauty that surrounds it. One would as well get the chance to see the rich tribal culture, fauna and exotic flora.

This self contained expedition permits you to take home snap-shots and memories of a land so special and unseen from the rest of the world.
