The Yammuna is another one of the more productive Mahseer rivers. It originates and flows through the north Indian state of Uttarkhand (formerly known as Uttaranchal); along the way it is joined by various tributaries, some of which hold great promise for the Himalayan Mahseer. Most spring fed tributaries of the Yammuna are not very large and run clear for most of the year. Besides the Himalayan Mahseer, the river also sustains a population of Indian Trout.
The Yammuna River is very scenic and because of its accessibility it is a very popular venue for the anglers who'd like a quick experience with the Mahseer. There are several non-angling activities available if someone in your group is not a keen angler.
Anglers are driven in our vehicles to the various beats on the river. Our boats are also brought into use in a small lake, which the river forms a short distance ahead of our camp.
We highly recommend this river for anglers who do not have much time available and would like a good introduction to Mahseer fishing.

This is followed by lunch and a drive to the starting point of your trek, which is a forty (40) minute drive from the Mahseer sanctuary.
A beautiful trek along the river leads you to some of the very remote sections of the river. Several pools are located here, which are seldom fished. This trek takes approx. two hours. You will be at the camp by teatime and can start fishing almost as soon as you get there.
