Seti Karnali Fishing Tour is the best destination if you enjoy fishing while rafting in III-grade rapids and enjoying peaceful isolated places with glimpses of wild animals. Seti and Karnali rivers are two major rivers in Nepal's far-western region, and they are home to more than 50 species of fish and other aquatic creatures. The white-water rivers that flow from the highest Himalayan peaks of the far western Himalayan region and the sacred Hindu pilgrimage site Manasarovar are home to a variety of fish species that steer and swim in pristine water.
Seti Karnali Fishing Package is designed for anglers who want to fish in undisturbed rivers and have a thrilling experience rafting in 3+ grade rapids while exploring the rustic life of river basin civilization's hilly people. The 15-day fishing trip begins with a scenic 1-hour flight to Dhangahdi airport, followed by a 7-hour drive to Dipayal, where we begin rafting with fishing in the Seti river for the first five days and float in Karnali river for the remaining days.
The Seti and Karnali rivers are home to rare and distinct fish species such as the Golden Mahseer (Tor putitora), Silver Masheer (Tor tor), and Sahar, Bokar, giant catfish, and Asia. Fishing and rafting enthusiasts enjoy catching Masheer and releasing it back into rivers because these fish are on the verge of extinction. Seti Karnali has famous fishing spots that local fishing veterans have used for centuries. Kohelpur, Jungle Ghat, Scorpian Beach, God's House, Juicer, Flip and Strip, Thulighat, and Rato Bhale Gaun have the most fish.
We come across the III-grade rapids and deep gorges during 14 days of rafting in the Seti and Karnali rivers, so we must book experienced rafting and fishing guides and be fully equipped and prepared with supplies as we stay in a remote area. Seti Karnali fishing package is the most popular because we don't want to miss out on catching Golden Masher, Gonch, Sahar, Bokar, giant catfish, and Asia.

When we arrive in Syaule Bazar, we take a right turn and drive along the Seti Highway, passing through dense forests and beautiful farming terraces on both sides of the Seti River.

Day 3: Rafting and Fishing in Camp 1 Today is our first day of fishing in Seti. We get up early in the morning, eat breakfast, and prepare the rafts. We begin rafting after being properly equipped and briefed by a rafting professional. One raft carrying rations and supplies precedes us and waits in Camp 1. For a while today, we float over Seti, passing beautiful farming terraces and settlements on both sides of the river. Today we will raft in a medium-grade rapid. We have a very peaceful feeling because of the lush vegetation, small streams, and waterfalls. We arrived at Camp 1 for lunch after a 3-4 hour rafting trip. We set up our fishing rods after lunch and fished all day. Because Goonch fish are active at night, we can also make a good catch at night.
Day 4: Fishing in Camp 1 We begin fishing around Camp 1 early in the morning. We try fishing around every corner and have a good chance of catching Golden Mahseer, Goonch, and Asala. During the day, local farmers and animal herders may come to watch the fishing. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served at camp, as well as a campfire and night fishing.

Overnight stay at Camp 3.
Day 9: Rafting and Fishing at Camp 4 (Masheer Camp) Today, after 5 days of rafting and fishing in Seti, we raft and enjoy the pristine water of the Karnali River. After breakfast, we rafted to our favorite fishing spot, Masheer Camp. After four hours of rafting across Karnali's III-grade rapids and through a narrow gorge, we arrive at Camp 4.
