Bhutan’s mountains are among the most spectacular in the world, with sparsely populated pine forests, majestic peaks, and clear mountain streams full of trout, making it an ideal and exclusive fishing destination. The setting is off the beaten track, offering both adventure and tranquility.

Fish Species and Fishing Conditions
The brown trout, introduced from Kashmir, India, is the main game fish, alongside the native snow trout (a member of the carp family). Bhutan’s rivers and streams range in altitude from 1,200 to 3,000 metres, with waters varying from large rivers to crystal-clear spring-fed streams. Fishing in Bhutan is catch and release, and ER Tours and Treks provides all necessary licenses for guests.

Best Times and Challenges
The optimal fishing seasons are spring (March–May) and fall (September–November). Fly fishing can be challenging, as rivers are often narrow with deep shorelines, but the experience is rewarding, combining outstanding natural beauty with the unique cultural experience of visiting Bhutan.
