Trout Fly Fishing in Himalayan India's Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

12 Day Guided Trip

The distinction between fly-fishing for trout in the Himalayas versus elsewhere lies in the breathtaking backdrop, rich cultural heritage, warm hospitality, and the tenacity of the native snow trout but also introduced Brown trout that have adapted to these challenging Himalayan rivers.

When it comes to trout, especially the common snow trout, provide an exhilarating encounter on a fly rod. These native species, which are also found in these rivers, can be quite elusive.

The adventure kicks off in Uttarakhand, India, with a thrilling 12-day fly fishing expedition that culminates in Himachal Pradesh. Along the way, you’ll traverse scenic and serene hill passes, embark on hikes to the source of the Yamunā river, and trek to some of India’s prime spots for trout fly fishing amidst the grandeur of the Himalayas.
