The Seti Karnali Fishing Expedition is a unique 3-day angling adventure into Nepal’s remote Karnali wilderness. This journey takes you to the pristine confluence of the Seti and Karnali Rivers, home to the legendary Golden Mahseer and mighty Goonch Catfish.

Travel begins with a scenic flight to Dhanghadi, followed by a rugged 4WD drive to Khimadi, where the riverbanks await. The trip features expert-guided fishing, optional rafting sections, riverside camping, BBQ dinners, and wildlife spotting—all in one compact, adventure-filled expedition.

Ideal for both professional anglers and wilderness lovers, this trip offers a short yet intense immersion into one of the most untouched fishing regions in South Asia.

Important Note
