10 days
Delhi/Naukuchiatal/Pancheshwar/Thauli/Chuka/Kaldhunga/Saat Tal/Naukuchiatal
 Season: March to April and September to October
The word Mahseer (Barbus Tor) is derived from the two words "Maha" and "Seer" from the Hindi language that combine to mean "Great Head". This majestic game fish is to freshwater angling what the tiger is to big game - the ultimate trophy.
And it is in the snow fed rivers and tributaries of the Maha Kali, Sarju and Sardu that we will take you in search of this, the most revered of fish, and a host of other species; rohu, katli, carp and hill trout.
Pancheshwar and the surrounding villages are nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas on the India - Nepal border, in fact on the odd occasion you may find yourself straddling this peaceful natural border as you wade mid stream.
This itinerary is designed to offer the maximum amount of fishing in the best beats and rivers of the region. A couple of the memorable highlights are the myriad of tributaries of the Maha Kali and the rocky, bountiful waters at Chuka, where one smiling client declared, "Behind every one of these rocks there's a Mahaseer!"
On those odd occasions when you lift your gaze from the waters, you realize that at every turn the almost untouched beauty of the Indian Himalayan region surrounds you. Mixed forests teeming with nature and noises, local temples dedicated to the mountain gods and of the unforgettable white peaks of the Himalayas.
