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. |
