Overview

The Seti Karnali Fishing Expedition is one of Nepal’s most exclusive and rewarding wilderness journeys — a perfect blend of angling, rafting, and remote exploration. Organized by Karnali Rafting and Adventure Pvt. Ltd., a pioneer in river-based eco-tourism, this expedition offers anglers the chance to chase legendary freshwater species in Nepal’s wild west.

Flowing through the far-flung hills of Sudurpashchim, the Seti Karnali River is a pristine and secluded habitat teeming with Golden Mahseer, Goonch Catfish, Snow Trout, and Eel. It winds through deep gorges, jungle corridors, and tribal villages before merging with the great Karnali River, creating an ideal setting for both serious sportfishing and immersive nature travel.

Unlike commercial fishing spots, Seti Karnali is untouched, unexplored, and rewarding. You’ll camp under the stars beside roaring rivers, fish in secret pools known only to local guides, and raft through dramatic white-water sections in one of Nepal’s most biodiverse regions.

Led by our team of expert fishing and rafting guides, every detail is handled — from permits and gear logistics to riverside meals and safe transport. Whether you’re an angling enthusiast or a curious adventurer, the Seti Karnali Fishing Expedition promises an authentic and thrilling experience deep in the heart of Nepal’s river wilderness.


Karnali Rafting and Adventure Pvt. Ltd. is proud to bring you this rare opportunity to explore one of Nepal’s last remaining fishing frontiers. With over a decade of experience in Karnali region expeditions, we prioritize safety, sustainability, and unforgettable river journeys.

Important Note
