The 10-Day Karnali River Fishing & Rafting Expedition offers a rare adventure combining world-class white-water rafting and trophy fishing for the legendary Golden Mahseer and Goonch Catfish. Flowing through western Nepal’s remote wilderness, the Karnali is Nepal’s longest and most pristine river.
You’ll paddle thrilling Class III–V rapids, explore untouched jungles, and spend days casting lines in deep pools, gorges, and sandy beaches. Wildlife spotting (gharials, river otters, dolphins, rare birds) and cultural encounters with Tharu and Magar villages make this journey a complete wilderness expedition. Nights are spent camping under the stars with bonfires and fresh-cooked meals by the river.
