Grand Mahseer Fishing Adventure

The Ten-Day "Grand Mahseer Fishing Adventure"

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 fish. The Kali is a snow fed river, just like most other Himalayan rivers, and originates from rivulets draining glaciers both in India and Nepal. It flows along the Indo-Nepal border and is joined by various tributaries along the way.

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. Its fame spread in the 60's when some officers from the Indian Armed forces discovered it and found the fishing to be extraordinary.


Our team helps you in timing this expedition to the runs of the Mahseer. The ideal way to take undertake Mahseer fishing on these large Himalayan rivers is to approach them on a boat and witness ever inch of the river as you drift down. The goal is to spend the maximum time, during the expedition, fishing the most lucrative beats. Confluences, where rivulets join the main river, make the most ideal locations for taking the Mahseer. The crystal clear rivulets, which run into the main river, provide some good sport on the fly too. There are beats where you'll be able to fish at night; providing you with an unforgettable experience!
