KAYAKING BRAHMAPUTR­A

-

If you’re seeking high adventure in India, the River Brahmaputr­a is a must on your to-do list. Nerve-racking battles against the river’s currents, and little peeks into the tribal settlement­s that line the banks add up to an unforgetta­ble journey. If nothing else, you get a first-hand insight into the might of this river. One such adventurefi­lled itinerary is the 12-day Siang Expedition, the next one being scheduled in November 2019. The trip begins at Dibrugarh airport, from where you travel through Pasighat, Karko,

Ramsing, Ningguing, and finally reach the camp at Purung. This is where—on day five— you get your hands on the oars. Five hours of rowing gets you to your next base at Pango. The adventure continues until you find yourself back to where you started, Pasighat, having passed through several rapids.

GETTING THERE Non-stop flights ply between Delhi and Dibrugarh.
