Sport
Fishing
is one
of the
adventurous
activities
offered
by our
company
since
years.
Nepal
has a
dense
net of
rivers
and
streams,
as well
as
numerous
lakes of
cold
water
character.
Nepal is
a
landlocked
country,
where
snow-clad
Himalayas,
eternal
glaciers,
ice-cold
torrents,
clear-water
and
lakes
contribute
too much
of its
hydrosphere.
These
vast
stretches
of
inland
water
support
many and
varied
forms of
freshwater
life
including
fish.
Many
wild and
scenic
rivers
and
lakes of
Nepal
provide
opportunities
for
recreational
fishing.
Nowhere
else in
the
Himalayan
region
could
one find
hundreds
of
kilometres
of fine
and cool
crystal
clear
fishing
waters,
teeming
with
mahseer,
snow
trout,
fresh
water
eel, and
catfishes
as in
the
upper
reaches
of the
rivers
Gandaki,
Koshi
and
Karnali
of
Nepal.
Angling
in such
beautiful
waters
amidst
glorious
scenery
is a
diverse,
subtle
and
beguiling
sport.
The
dancing
and
frolicking
of fish
are a
worth
seeing
sight in
the
Himalayan
rivers.
The
fishing
can be
done
through
out the
year.
Still
the best
season
to go
fishing
on the
white
waters
is
before
and
after
the
monsoon
from
February
till
April
and
October
and
November.
Some
popular
fishing
areas
are
Karnali,
Betrawati,
Indrawati,
Babai is
Bardiya,
Chitwan's
river
confluences,
Dolalghat,
on
Kodari
Highway
and
Pokhara's
lakes.
Fishing
is all
the more
fun in
mountain
streams.
In the
Terai
river
water
large
catfish,
murrel
and crap
are
found in
abundance.
There
are some
specific
ethnic
group in
the
hills
and
Terai
region
of Nepal
whose
lifestyle
has been
based on
Fishing.
Bote,
Majhi,
Tharu
and
Machhuwar
are some
of them.
