Fishing Tours

Discover Bhutan through fishing


Experience the peaceful side of Bhutan through a unique fishing journey surrounded by pristine rivers, beautiful valleys and breathtaking Himalayan landscapes. Fishing in Bhutan is not only about catching fish. It is about enjoying quiet moments in nature, connecting with local traditions, and discovering the untouched beauty of the Kingdom.

Imagine standing beside a clear Himalayan river, surrounded by forests, mountains and peaceful villages. A fishing journey with CAT Bhutan allows you to enjoy nature at its finest while experiencing the slower and more authentic side of Bhutan.

Your fishing experience can be combined with

  • Scenic journeys through Bhutan’s beautiful valleys
  • Visits to monasteries, villages and cultural sites
  • Nature walks and photography opportunities
  • Local food experiences and community visits
  • Peaceful moments away from busy destinations

Conservation first

Responsible fishing in Bhutan

Bhutan places great importance on protecting its natural environment and aquatic life. Fishing is regulated to ensure the conservation of rivers, fish species and ecosystems.

  • A valid fishing permit is required before fishing in Bhutan’s rivers, streams, lakes or other designated water bodies.
  • International visitors must be accompanied by a Bhutanese fishing guide while fishing.
  • Fishing is allowed only in designated areas and during permitted periods.
  • Certain fishing methods and equipment are restricted to protect fish populations. Recreational fishing generally follows regulated rod-and-reel methods, including approved fly fishing and lure techniques.
  • Special conservation areas, including high-end recreational fishing areas, may require specific permits and follow catch-and-release practices.

At CAT Bhutan, we assist our guests with the necessary arrangements and guidance to ensure their fishing experience is enjoyable, legal and environmentally responsible.
