Welcome to Whitewater Asia

EXTREME WHITEWATER KAYAK & RAFTING
TOURS & TREKS THROUGH-OUT ASIA

Two wars, economic meltdown, climate crisis, leadership transitions and their uncertain implications stories of tension, change, and conflict in a seemingly ever-shrinking world are delivered daily to doorsteps, inboxes, television sets. We would all be forgiven for wanting to shutter the windows, deadbolt the doors, and throw the covers over our heads until it all feels safe again.

Instead, were asking you to consider that there has never been a better or more important time to reject that instinct C entirely. Shake out your backpacks, dust off your journals, charge your camera batteries, and lets observe, connect, affirm and engage with everything that remains wonderfully diverse, big, and challenging about the world and our shared experiences in it. This is the time.

In the spring of 2008, we paid heartbroken final respects to the Great Bend of the Yangtze. One of the worlds great river canyons, and an experience to which we had become very attached, became collateral damage of Chinas breakneck (break everything!) industrialization - three monstrous new dams are under construction below Tiger Leaping Gorge. We feel truly privileged for the opportunity to share it with so many of you, but in the end it was a place too few people ever knew.

With a renewed sense of excitement and purpose, we invite you to join us on one or more of several trips planned for the Great Parallel Rivers region of northwest Yunnan and eastern Tibet in 2009. Incomparably unique experiences, all will take you deep into the heart of a magical confluence of people and place experiencing profound and tumultuous change
