Fly Fishing Expeditions - DRAGON'S CRYSTALLINE WATERWAYS

In Bhutan, you will experience the special delight of fishing, in which wonderful trout streams, mountain ranges as well as cultural scenery from the 8th-century mix in harmony. Fishing in the crystal-clear rivers facing spectacular landscapes is what every single fisherman hopes for.

This fly-fishing expedition is 7 days long tour package of amazing experiences, fishing trips, and sightseeing tours allowing you to enjoy fly fishing in one of the most uncovered and hidden fishing destinations on the planet. For centuries, along with its back turned to its external neighbors, Bhutan had remained a mystery. Sport fishing in Bhutan stays largely under-discovered. As a result of the absence of a comprehensive study, the full list of the kinds of fish in the waters of Nepal is not very clear.

Approximately 40 species have been recorded, including a few species discovered yearly. Fishing areas vary starting with large rivers to crystal clear spring-fed streams. Elevations range from a low of 1200M to 3000M. The most typical types are the snow trout (belonging to the carp family) and the brown trout (which has thrived since its introduction some decades in the past)
