Join us for a river-journey down the Saryu & Mahakali Rivers up on the borders of India and Nepal. The Saryu River is the second-largest tributary of the mighty Mahakali River that demarcates the borders of the two countries. This section of river features the most significant migratory-runs of the Golden Himalayan Mahseer in Northern India – hence offering a superb blend of the very best of spinning as well as fly-fishing opportunities for these majestic fish. The Saryu is a fly-friendly river that is complimented by the migratory-runs of the Mahseer that come up from the Mahakali River, which offers massive natural habitat for these majestic fish, as it runs un-dammed for the most part – allowing its tributaries like the Saryu to produce well year-after-year. The Mahakali is a large glacial river that originates in China and offers forty miles of remote river-fishing opportunities for the Golden Himalayan Mahseer. In past years the Mahakali has produced some monsters and due its remote location it still continues to do so.

Fishing
The fishing is based on a fifty-mile section of river – floating, walking, and wet-wading your way down – accessing tributaries that flow into the Mahakali like Pancheshwar & Chukka. In the course of the river-journey our guests are hosted in migratory camps that are carefully placed to compliment the angling.
For the fly-angler, the Saryu River offers beautiful runs that are relatively easy to fish. It offers just the right volume for the use of both double as well as single-handed fly- rods. The Saryu rewards a variety of presentations that includes skated-dry-flies and crease-flies. In the warmer months the Golden Himalayan Mahseer take lures and flies in rapids – an exhilarating experience!
The Mahakali is a large glacial river is best fished with lures. It is one of the final-frontiers for anglers in search of the forgotten Himalayan monsters. This truly is an angling journey that takes you back in-time.
