Arunachal Pradesh will host the Asian Rafting Championships 2026 in Boleng from October 5 to 9, 2026. The five-day championship will be held on the Simang River, a major tributary of the Siang River, and will feature leading paddlers from across Asia. The event is intended to showcase Arunachal Pradesh’s potential for white-water sports and adventure tourism. The Siang is a major river of the state and is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet.
