Overview

The Karnali River Fishing Expedition – 6 Days, organized by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., is a fast-track version of our full expedition packages.

This trip focuses on two high-impact fishing sessions in the Karnali’s most accessible yet productive stretches. You’ll still target the prized Golden Mahseer and Goonch Catfish, enjoy a scenic rafting journey, and camp riverside — but in a condensed schedule that works for anglers with only a few days to spare.

With catch-and-release ethics, professional guides, and rafting support, you’ll get a true taste of Karnali fishing without the long time commitment.

Important Note

  • Catch-and-release only – All fish returned unharmed.
  • Fishing methods – Spinning, baitcasting, bottom fishing; fly fishing possible in some spots.
  • Physical readiness – Light rafting (1–2 hrs daily) plus short walks along the riverbank.
  • Best seasons – Oct–Nov and Mar–May.
  • Permits included – Fishing & conservation area fees.
