    Overview

    The Karnali River Fishing Expedition – 7 Days, operated by Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., is a time-compressed fishing adventure designed for anglers who want to experience the Karnali’s trophy waters in just one week.

    Over two full fishing days on the river, you’ll target Golden Mahseer and Goonch Catfish in the most productive stretches, using rafting for access to deep pools, fast runs, and remote eddies far from human disturbance.

    The trip is short but intense — rapid transfers, minimal downtime, and maximum time spent fishing. Evenings are spent camping riverside under the stars, enjoying freshly prepared meals, and sharing stories around the campfire.

    Important Note

    • Catch-and-release only — All fish released unharmed to conserve the ecosystem.
    • Fishing styles — Spinning, baitcasting, bottom fishing; fly fishing in select locations.
    • Physical readiness — Short rafting days (2–3 hrs) plus active fishing.
    • Best seasons — Oct–Nov and Mar–May.
    • Permits included — Fishing & conservation area permits.
