Seti Karnali River Rafting and Fishing

On the first day of your Seti Karnali fishing and rafting itinerary, we will fly from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj (1 hour) and approximately 8 hours to Gopghat from Nepalgunj, or Dipayal Bridge, which is approximately 7 hours from Nepalgunj, which is the put in point, and we will set our camp there. You can acclimate and adjust yourself mentally and physically for the trip.

After breakfast, we will begin rafting from Gopghat to Dipayal early in the morning, setting our next day camp there. If we start from Dipayal, we will raft down to set camp before reaching the Budhi Ganga confluence.

Camp can be decided per the senior Seti River tour guide and his team’s inspection and decision. Before you fish, you can consult with your fishing guide as to how you can sustainably engage in the activity.

We will continue rafting to the Budhi Ganga confluence and set up another camp there. The Budhi Ganga confluence is all about raw and rural adventure, as on this day of angling, we will also try fishing for the Masheer species, Goonch, and Asala.

And since it is located in both Bihar, India, and Nepal, you can experience a blend of Indian and Nepalese culture when we speak of the cultural aspect.

This is our first fishing camp, so we will stay another day. During the day, we will again put down our lure fishing along with our angle and hooks against the Masheer groups like Golden, Copper, Phalame, and Goonch.

Another way to make your trip even more interactive and fun would be by collecting data on the fish species and the environmental conditions of these species’ habitat.

In the early morning, we could fish for around two hours before having breakfast. This day might just be the best one for anglers, as there are plenty of fishing opportunities in the Seti Karnali.

In addition to this, we will paddle down to Scorpion Beach Camp before the Seti Karnali and Karnali confluence. We will set up camp overnight.

After rafting downstream for approximately one and a half hours, we will carefully assess the viable fishing spots. Based on our calculations and the duration of our expedition, we may set up another camp at a suitable location.

This allows us to maximize our fishing time and make the most of our planned days on the river. You can reflect on your fishing trip at your Karnali camp by the end of the trip.

Our adventure begins as we embark on a thrilling rafting journey near Doban, Karnali Confluence, on the Seti Karnali River. After rafting to our designated area, we will set up our camp and prepare for two fishing days in this exceptional location. Renowned as the best spot for fishing and explicitly targeting the prized Golden Mahseer, the fishing opportunities in this area are unparalleled.

The most probable fishing regions extend for approximately 17 kilometers before reaching the confluence, ensuring ample chances to catch the majestic Golden Mahseer.

On the ninth day, we will continue rafting, navigating smaller rapids, and taking in the breathtaking scenery. We will go to Jamuna village, where we will camp for the night. We will also try our fishing luck in the mighty Karnali, which is famous for many fish like Masheer and Goonch.

After you have completed your trip for the day, you can also participate in cooking activities while also learning local recipes with exotic ingredients from the locals.

We will continue our rafting journey from Jamuna village and enjoy a relaxing day on an unspoiled beach. The frequency of rapids will decrease, allowing us to fully take in the stunning surroundings and unwind after a few days of thrilling rafting.

By the end of the day, you can come up with all the things you have done and can do in your trip in the remaining days. This day is just as preferred by those seeking to bond with other adventurers.

We will continue rafting down the Karnali River, enjoying the region’s beauty and relaxing throughout the journey. The frequency of rapids will continue to decrease, and we will set up camp some distance above the Bheri Confluence for the night.

Moreover, you can also take amazing photos of the local towns and the Karnali river along with it’s surrounding before and after you’re done rafting.

On the final day of the rafting trip, we will reach Chisapani. If you want, you can extend the journey to go for a Chisapani Nagarkot trek, which is one of the most famous ones in Kathmandu Valley.

You can also simply drive back to Kathmandu or embark on a 2 day jungle safari in Bardiya National Park. Alternatively, you can fly back to Kathmandu from Nepalgunj.
