| We are pleased to offer you some of the finest fishing for Mahseer on the most productive beats of the rivers and the lakes in the Indian Himalayas. Here the odds of trophy game fish are consistently high - you will be fishing off the beaten track with excellent guides. The Mahseer inhabits the torrential rivers and perennial rivulets of the sub-mountainous terrain in the foothills of the Himalayas. It can be found up to and altitude of 2,500 ft above sea level. The rivers considered to be the strongholds of the Himalayan Mahseer include the Ganges and its tributaries, the Eastern and Western Ramganga, the Mahakali and its tributaries, the Kosi, the Beas and its tributaries, the Sutlej and its tributaries, the Bhramaputra and its tributaries, the Ravi and its tributaries, the Yammuna and its tributaries, and the Indus and its tributaries. You do not have to worry about being really fit. Hikes and walks are relatively short and you are given a hiking stick. Everything else is carried for you. While on the river you will be camping but it is very comfortable. You will not need to help with setting up the camp or the cooking, this is all done for you. Each person has their own tent with a bed, inflatable mattress, sleeping bag and a pillow. A table and a small stool is put into each tent. Proper dry pit toilets are used for guests, one for three guests and there is a shower tent so that everyone can shower easily. The expeditions normally use rafts so that you can spend the maximum time on the river and move downriver from beat to beat in the raft. Fishing for Mahseer on some Himalayan lakes is also available. There is fishing for Trout in the Himalayas, both in the smaller rivers and lakes, a base camp is usually set up and anglers are driven up and down the beats. Some of the remoter lakes and streams are only accessible by a trek, mostly a short one, for which adequate arrangements are made with porters and/or mules to carry all the gear up to the beats. The goal is to try to find spots that are not frequented by the average angler, thus providing guests with a truly unique experience. |

| Located on the border of India and Nepal, the river Mahakali is a torrential and voluminous river. Its location has ensured that it remains relatively isolated and this perhaps has been a major factor for it being one of the most productive rivers in North India for the Mahseer. The Kali is a snow fed river, just like most other Himalayan rivers, and originates from rivulets draining glaciers both in India and Nepal. Pancheshwar, is the Kali's most famous beat, this is where the Saryu and the Kali converge. Over the years the finest fish have been taken from this beat. |
