The Tsang Po, born at the Mansarova Lake, enters India at its far-east fringe, the remote state of Arunachal Pradesh as the powerful upper Brahmaputra, locally called the Siang.

A team of 22 people, in 3 expedition rafts and 5 kayaks will dare to travel 180km on the Siang, from the inaccessible border village of Tuting to Pasighat.

The team and equipment will take 3 days to reach the put in – the remote village of Tuting at the India-China border, covering a very inaccessible, inhospitable and remote region.

The 370km journey from Dibrughar to Tuting will be covered by ferry and off-road vehicles.

The Himalayan Rally

Once we have collected the group in Dushanbe (Tajik Capital), we will head out with our Expedition Truck. Scratching off Valley after valley, we will have our final run on the Muksu.

This 8 day self support will be the highlight on this Expedition. From there we will fly from Dushanbe to Kharog to meet our Truck again and drive via the newly opened ‘highway’ to China and cut over to Pakistan to make a base in Gilgit and head for the rivers there.

Our next trip will get us through Pakistan across to India and up to Kashmir to explore some rivers in this now a little bit quieter region. Unfortunately time/weather will not permit us to drive into Ladakh but we will keep on driving through the Indian Himalayas with the odd stop before we are back to our base in Nepal.

Our Trip will start in Tajikistan (Dushanbe) on the 25th of August and will last for about 3 weeks. From there we will drive for roughly one week before we should be in Pakistan (this is an adventure by itself, driving over high mountain passes, including the Karakoroum).

Scheduled arrival (pls be flexible) in Pakistan should be 30th of September which then should give us a good time to explore at least the runs of K2 and Gasherbrum. Again we have scheduled 3 weeks in Pakistan.

We will then have to build a turbo into our truck and have to make it for the 26th of November to join the trip for the Brahmaputra (separate Itinerary)

From there we should be back in Kathmandu by 5th of December (we might stick it out in Sikkim if it is not too cold).

Interested people need to confirm their participation before 15th of April (for Tajikistan), as space will allow us only to fit in 4 people per country (Brahmaputra is different).

All waters will be at a grade IV-V level and sometimes a bit harder. So being solid in your boat is a must. You also need to be flexible with your timing and can’t look at this from a standard booked tour but join an exploratory search of whitewater in the Himalayas.

We will take the headaches of getting you through the bureaucracies, over the mountains and down the rivers.
