The Ten-Day "Mahseer and Trout Fly-Fishing Adventure"
TRIP BREIFING: Designed for the angler who'd like to pack in two classic game fish species on two different river systems, in one fishing trip. This trip targets the Himalayan Mahseer and Trout.

This trip is a great opportunity to experience this beautiful region.
- Discover the great fly-fishing possibilities of the Indian Himalayas.
- Himalayan Mahseer and Brown Trout fishing in some of the most untouched rivers.
- Experience a beautiful Himalayan Safari and some hiking as part of the trip.

This adventure aims at bringing together unique opportunities for fishing both the Himalayan Mahseer and the Brown Trout in a single trip. This is a distinctive trip that explores some of the finest fishing rivers surrounded by breathtaking Himalayan terrain that takes you up to an altitude of 9,000 ft.
The trip is based upon fishing two separate locations, as both the fisheries are different in habitat and enable you to experience a unique blend of two rivers for fly-fishing for both the Himalayan Mahseer and the Brown Trout.
The first river you will be fishing is the Yammuna - a short trek is required to reach these remote pools. This is where you can use your 7-9 weight rods to take on the Golden Mahseer. As the river is crystal clear you will be able to see some of the large fish that inhabit this river. The guide will walk you to several pools and rapids during the course of your trip.
The second leg of the trip takes you to the Bhagirathi River to fish for the Brown Trout in the most picturesque surroundings.
