Founded RiverIndia.com and the South Asian River Skills Institute to promote conservation of South Asia's longest freely flowing waterway through the development of a locally-powered river tourism industry.
The Siang River, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
Designation of the Siang River as India's first protected river.
Entering our 6th year of operation, RiverIndia runs high-end river expeditions on the Siang River in India. Our multi-day expeditions are a model for the creation of a river-tourism industry that economically empowers the communities around the Siang River at a grassroots level. Our model stands in contrast to the planned private, profit-driven hydroelectric dams currently planned on the Siang River.
