Assemble at Bhalukpong. Overnight stay at a camp.

Day 03

Drive 4 hours to Riga and set up camp. Get the raft and gear ready for the expedition. One can walk down the beach and enjoy the twittering of the birds and the rushing water. Dinner around the campfire is filled with conversation about the coming days on the river.

Day 04

Layover day. Spend the day exploring the surroundings and getting to know the Kameng corridor. One can choose to wake up late, laze around the camp or take a nature walk, sunbathe, bird watch, try a hand at fishing or just lie on the beach and read a book. Depending on flows and at the trip leader’s discretion, we may raft a section of the river. Camp at Riga.

Day 05

Today the river journey begins. Paddle through a gorge which provides some stunning views. Paddle bouncy grade 3 rapids which are the highlight of the day as a lot of small streams and rivers come in adding volume. As we leave the first gorge, we float through the Seppa town to pitch camp on a sandy river beach. Spectacular views of streams falling into the Kameng surround us and we go to bed dreaming of the river and what the next day holds. 

Day 06

The day starts with an easy float section as we go away from the villages into the remote gorge of the Kameng, where there are good grade 3-4 rapids before we reach camp at the rivers’ confluence.

Day 07

This is a great section of the Kameng River as the Bichom River joins it, increasing volume adding punch to the rapids. We encounter 23 grade 3 to 4 plus rapids. We scout the rapids and negotiate them accordingly. Set up camp in the afternoon and rest our aching muscles. This is the entrance to the remote section on the Kameng River. 

Day 08

Layover day. One can choose to wake up late, laze around the camp, sunbathe, bird watch, try a hand at fishing or just lay on the beach and read a book. 

Day 09

Paddle a solid grade 4 section into a remote canyon. Camp at Stampede Camp.

Day 10

Today we encounter 18 grade 3 to 4 rapids. Once we raft pass the dam site we negotiate awesome ‘full on’ whitewater. Camp. 

Day 11

The last day on the river has 17 grade 3-4 plus rapids and a stunning gorge. Set up camp by a rapid tonight to celebrate the last evening around the camp fire on the trip.  

Day 12

Raft to Tippi – the takeout point where the river slows down as it enters the plains. Transfer to Bhalukpong and overnight stay at a camp.

Day 13

Drive to Guwahati. Trip ends with some great memories of the Kameng River.
