The Bheri River Fishing Expedition – 8 Days, organized by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., is one of Nepal’s most extraordinary wilderness journeys. This trip is carefully designed for anglers, adventurers, and nature lovers who want to combine the thrill of fishing, the excitement of rafting, and the cultural richness of rural Nepal — all in one unforgettable expedition.
The Bheri River, originating from the majestic Dolpo region and flowing down through the rugged Chure Hills into the fertile Terai plains, is a hidden gem for both fishing and adventure tourism. Its crystal-clear waters, diverse aquatic life, and remote setting make it one of the finest destinations in South Asia for golden mahseer fishing. Known as the “tiger of the Himalayan rivers,” the golden mahseer is prized by anglers worldwide for its strength, beauty, and challenge. Alongside the fishing, participants will experience thrilling rafting adventures, immersive camping along pristine river beaches, and authentic interactions with local villages.
As Nepal’s trusted adventure operator, Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd. specializes in rafting, fishing, trekking, and cultural expeditions. With decades of experience, our team ensures safety, comfort, and unforgettable memories. We take pride in offering:
Expert Local Guides – Knowledgeable in fishing, rafting, and cultural traditions.
Sustainable Adventure – Promoting catch-and-release fishing to protect golden mahseer.
Authentic Experiences – Staying in riverside camps, eating traditional Nepali meals, and engaging with rural communities.
Personalized Service – Small group sizes to provide more personalized guidance and care.
Every day of the expedition blends adventure and relaxation. Mornings often start with a hearty breakfast before casting lines into the river’s most promising pools, while afternoons can shift to rafting through both calm stretches and whitewater rapids. Evenings are spent at campsites set along sandy riverbanks or hidden jungle clearings, where travelers share stories around campfires, enjoy Nepali cuisine, and sleep under the starry skies of western Nepal.
Beyond fishing and rafting, the expedition is also about connection — connection with nature, with local people, and with yourself. Traveling through remote villages and riverside settlements, you’ll witness the simplicity and richness of Nepali rural life. The journey takes you through landscapes that change dramatically — from high-altitude Dolpo valleys, to dense forests in the Chure Hills, and finally to the open plains of Terai where wildlife and bird species thrive.
