Overview

The Karnali River Fishing Expedition – 4 Days, operated by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., is a quick-hit fishing adventure designed for anglers who are short on time but still want to experience Nepal’s wild Karnali River.

Focusing on one full fishing day and one half-day fishing session, this trip is ideal for travelers already in western Nepal or for those taking a quick domestic flight from Kathmandu. You’ll target Golden Mahseer in fast runs and Goonch Catfish in deep pools, using rafting to reach fishing spots not accessible by road.

Even in this short trip, you’ll enjoy riverside camping, the thrill of Karnali’s Class II–III rapids, and the untouched wilderness of far western Nepal.

Important Note

  • Catch-and-release only – All fish released unharmed.
  • Fishing styles – Spinning, baitcasting, bottom fishing; limited fly fishing possible.
  • Physical readiness – Light rafting and shore fishing.
  • Best seasons – Oct–Nov and Mar–May.
  • Permits included – Fishing & conservation fees.
