Tourist-level hotel and high-quality camping
The Karnali River Fishing Expedition – 11 Days, organized by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., is the ultimate Himalayan angling experience for those with limited time but an appetite for adventure.
The Karnali River, Nepal’s longest and most powerful waterway, is legendary among anglers for its trophy-sized Golden Mahseer and Goonch Catfish. Flowing through remote jungles, dramatic gorges, and untouched villages, the Karnali offers not just fishing — but a complete wilderness immersion.
On this expedition, we combine professional fishing guidance with rafting support to access the most secluded fishing pools and deep runs. Each day brings new fishing opportunities: fast-water rapids ideal for Mahseer, deep swirling pools perfect for Goonch, and tranquil stretches for casting from the raft.
Evenings are spent camping on pristine river beaches under a blanket of stars, enjoying fresh meals cooked by our river crew. Along the way, you’ll spot rare wildlife, meet friendly locals, and experience the unspoiled beauty of Nepal’s far west.
With catch-and-release ethics, high-quality fishing and rafting equipment, and decades of river expertise, Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd. ensures your fishing trip is safe, sustainable, and unforgettable.
