A major Himalayan river in Arunachal Pradesh, famous for its stunning blue-green waters, deep gorges, and world-class white-water rafting opportunities.
The Kameng River is a powerful waterway that carves its way through the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh. Originating from a glacial lake in the Tawang district, it flows through deep gorges and dense forests before meeting the Brahmaputra in Assam, where it's known as the Jia Bhoreli. For travelers on the Tawang circuit, the river is a constant companion, especially on the stretch between Bhalukpong and Dirang. Its water is remarkably clear and blue-green, changing in intensity with the seasons.
