Requirements

Our fishing trips in the Indian Himalayas are aimed at both beginners and experienced anglers. A basic level of fitness for stays in mountainous terrain and enjoyment of nature and simple outdoor conditions are important. Previous fly fishing experience is an advantage, but not a prerequisite – depending on the tour, instructions and guidance are offered by the guide. The trips take place in remote regions, so flexibility, openness and adaptability to the weather, infrastructure and local conditions are required.
