NIMAS completes Arunachal leg of Brahmaputra River Rafting Expedition

Itanagar, Jan 20 (UNI) The NIMAS (National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports) team achieved a significant milestone by completing the Arunachal Pradesh leg of the historic Brahmaputra River Rafting Expedition on Monday.
Known as the Siang in Arunachal Pradesh, the Brahmaputra River is revered for its ferocity and unpredictability.
Out of the audacious 916-km journey planned, the team has successfully navigated 240 km of the river, rafting through one of the most dangerous stretches in the world. This section, from Gelling—the first Indian village where the river enters India—to Tuting, is renowned for its Grade 4 and 5 rapids. The sheer power and scariness of the currents have deterred all previous attempts to navigate this route.
