Tour Overview

On Bardia Fishing Adventure 3 Nights, you will visit Babai River, one of the least explored rivers in Nepal. This river passes through the tropical rainforest that hosts tigers, rhinoceros, elephants, and over 250 types of fish. You will fish with expert guides who will take you to the right fishing areas and at the right time.

Among the catches, the most valued fish is the Golden Mahseer. It is famous for its strength and size, making it almost a tough challenge for any angler. You also get to find Goonch, Wallago Attu, Rohu, Silver Carp, and Indian Trout here as well. The Babai River is just perfect for everyone who likes fishing a lot.

In addition, this package of Fishing Tour in Bardia for 3 Nights combines wildlife adventure with discovery of cultural heritages. You'll fish in shallow waters, and you will hear only the birds singing and the river flowing. Between casts, listen to peacocks and the rustle of deer or even spot a crocodile at the riverbank.

As compared to many other destinations, the Babai River Fishing Tour in Bardia is exclusive in its nature. As few tourists fish here, it is relatively peaceful and personal. The 3-Nights Bardia Fishing Safari offers you each day to do what you please without difficulties.

Other activities include walks in the national park, sunsets by the river, and cultural encounters with the local Tharu people. They will greet you with warmth and history, which will complement your stay.
