Seti–Karnali Golden Mahseer Angling Expedition - 20 Days

The Seti–Karnali Mahseer Angling Expedition – 20 Days is a unique river-based fishing adventure designed for anglers seeking remote wilderness, scenic river travel, and the chance to target the legendary Golden Mahseer in Nepal’s western river systems.

Starting and ending in Kathmandu, this expedition combines flight, road travel, rafting, riverside camping, and guided angling along the Seti River and into the mighty Karnali River. The journey begins with arrival, permit arrangements, gear checks, and final expedition preparation before heading west to the river put-in near Dipayal.

Over the following days, guests float through peaceful pools, shallow runs, canyon sections, jungle corridors, confluence zones, and wide lower-river channels. The route gradually builds from warm-up fishing stretches to prime Mahseer territory near the Seti–Karnali confluence, where anglers can target larger fish in deep pools, current edges, and long casting zones.

This expedition is suitable for anglers looking for an easy-level but adventurous fishing journey, with a balance of floating, camping, fly fishing, spinning, and trophy-fish hunting. Remote riverside camps, quiet wilderness, and long fishing sessions make this trip ideal for those who want a true expedition-style angling experience away from crowded routes.

The final fishing stretch ends at Chisapani, followed by a return journey via Nepalgunj and flight back to Kathmandu. With its combination of river adventure, wilderness camping, and serious Mahseer fishing potential, this 20-day expedition offers one of Nepal’s most memorable angling experiences.
