Arunachal Pradesh, India - Shangri La 2008
The Great Brahmaputra Descent Nov 16-28, 2008
This trip is a cultural eye-opener travelling through a very remote part of India, beginning with an amazing ferry ride up the gigantic river viewing the Gangetic dolphin and migratory birds ; and a 2-day drive through tropical rainforest and lots more…..
After your day-one plunge through a ten-mile stretch with some of the biggest rapids rafted commercially, rapids like ‘Pulsating Palsi”, you’ll be ready to descend the Ningguing and Marmong gorges. You will raft down ‘Roaring Rikor” and “Zebra Rock” till the Class 6 “Toothfairy” at Cherring. You will run “Hairy Hari”, “Kim Broken Oar” rapids, scout “Moing Madness” and see huge 20 foot plus breakers within arms reach. You will spend days floating down the beautiful vastness of this river, the ‘Son of Brahma”, past tribal settlements, run down “Karko Killer” and brace yourself for the final drop at the “Pongging Punch”.
