Upper Siang's stretch of the Siang River (the Brahmaputra's headwater in India) offers Grade IV-V white-water rafting that international adventure-tourism rates among the world's best — but commercial outfitters are minimal. A small certified outfitter offering multi-day expedition packages (rafting + camping + Adi village visits) plus a small adventure base camp captures the premium adventure-tourism segment. Pricing: ₹35,000-1,20,000 per multi-day expedition.
Capex of ₹15-35 lakh covers rafts, safety equipment, certification (IRF/IRIA), base camp infrastructure, and 6 months of working capital. NEC's tourism subsidy and MUDRA Tarun fund the build. Hard parts: international-standard safety certification (essential for marketing to foreign adventure travellers), 5-6 month operating window (Oct-Apr), and building a guide team trained to expedition standard. Realistic: 8-12 expedition trips per season at scale; ₹15-25 lakh net.
