Tibet Expedition

In October 2006 myself and an international group of six river kayakers set out to explore the tributary rivers flowing into the legendary 'Great Bend' of the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) in the eastern Kham province of Tibet.

The main achievement of our trip was the first full descent of the Parlung Tsangpo River. Form it's high altitude source at Ngan-tso lake, 9 days, 210km and 1600m drop in altitude to where it joins the Po Tsangpo, before cascading into the 'Great Bend' of the Yarlung Tsangpo, the deepest gorge in the world.
