Tourist-level hotel and high-quality camping
The 12-day Karnali River Fishing Expedition is a streamlined yet thrilling version of our longer 13-day trip. Designed for anglers with limited time but high expectations, it delivers world-class fishing for Golden Mahseer and Goonch Catfish in Nepal’s most remote fishing grounds.
Combining rafting and fishing, you’ll float through deep gorges and camp at untouched fishing spots. The itinerary is condensed by removing one full day of rafting/fishing but still keeps prime fishing opportunities, cultural encounters, and wilderness experiences intact.
With professional guides, high-quality gear, and catch-and-release ethics, this trip promises an unforgettable Himalayan angling adventure.
