People who come from outside like Mumbai, Delhi and other big cities and whoever want to go to Tawang, they think they will only go to Tawang, but for them I have started to promote river rafting. I started my project this January. River rafting is one of the best that you can do in your life. My intention is to promote tourism more in my Arunachal Pradesh,” Ramdasow said.

Clients from Pune and Mumbai expressed their satisfaction after taking part in the river rafting exercise saying that it was a thrilling experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Arunachal Pradesh.
