Overview

This is a 14-day Mahseer angling expedition along the legendary Seti and Karnali Rivers in Nepal. Specifically designed for experienced anglers, this high-intensity expedition focuses on Golden Mahseer fishing while navigating challenging river currents, rapids, and pristine fishing habitats. Participants will experience a mix of active fishing, fly fishing, and spin fishing in various zones, including trophy zones for larger fish.

The journey starts with a flight from Kathmandu to Dhangadhi, followed by a drive to Dipayal where you’ll begin fishing on the Seti River.
