Why January here
The far Upper Siang village below the gorge where the Tsangpo turns, a rafting legend.
Tuting is the road’s end in Upper Siang, below the gorge country where the Tsangpo enters India as the Siang: Memba and Adi villages, expedition-grade whitewater lore, and a frontier stillness that few travellers reach.
What to do
The gorge gates
Where the big river narrows to a roar.
