“Fishing for Mahsheer in a well stocked submontone Rivers is in my opinion the most fascinating of all field sports” – Jim Corbett
And we are operating the fascinating sports, as Jim Corbett calls it, since 2002 in the rivers of western and eastern Nepal. There are 118 varieties of Fresh – water Fish in the Himalayan Rivers flowing down to the plain of Terai’s tropical jungle. The varieties of fish in these rivers ranges from much sought after Mahsheer to the mountain stream trout-like varieties and saloman.
Best season for fishing: Mid – February – Mid – May – October – November.
Around Bardia fishing tour
Walking in allows you to explore the rich diversity of the jungle, grasslands and rivers. This is the best way to see wildlife and nature close up. Your guide can give you in-depth information on the habitats you pass through, details of the plant and animal life you encounter and will brief you on general tracking tips.
An early morning 30 km drive by jeep will drop you by the Karnali River. This is followed by a serene day rafting down the gentle Karnali. Drifting down the river allows you to spot wildlife, especially the endangered freshwater Gangetic dolphin, the gharial crocodile, exotic birds and big game on the nearby river banks. Swimming is also possible and sometimes the dolphins may join you!
The Karnali River is one of the longest Himalayan river of mid-west Nepal famous for fishing game. A good habitat of great fish like the mahseer, you can go fishing with good fishing equipment. The best time for fishing is generally October to April.
Explore the community forest, river habitats and open water areas to see the wide range of varieties of birds. Bird watching is best done on foot for the least disturbance, but you can take a jeep safari or drift down the Karnali River for sightings of the many river birds. Our well-trained guides can help identify the different varieties of resident and migratory birds encountered.
