Trout Fishing in the Himalayas
Spend a peaceful afternoon fishing in the clear, ice-fed streams of the Kashmir Valley. We handle the government permits, provide the gear, and supply the local knowledge.
The glacial streams surrounding Gulmarg are home to thriving populations of wild Himalayan brown trout and rainbow trout. We guide our fishing excursions to the serene, rushing waters of Ningli Nallah and the Ferozpora basin. Surrounded by towering Deodar pines and the rushing sounds of glacial meltwater, Trout Fishing is the ultimate escape for nature enthusiasts.
Our Philosophy
To protect the delicate Himalayan ecosystem and maintain healthy fish populations for future generations, we strongly promote sustainable, catch-and-release fly fishing and angling practices on our guided tours.
Who It's For
Experienced anglers looking for a unique Himalayan catch, or complete beginners wanting a quiet, meditative day in nature.
Why Book With Us
Fishing in Kashmir is strictly regulated and requires specific daily government angling licenses. Navigating the local fisheries department can consume an entire day of your vacation. Gulmarg Ski Resort handles all the bureaucratic paperwork, arranges 4x4 transit to the remote streams, and provides premium fishing rods, tackle, and local guides.
