World Class Fishing
Duration : 13 Nights / 14 Days
Destinations : Delhi – Srinagar - Sonamarg - Srinagar - Delhi - Agra - Delhi
Kashmir has been rightly called an angler's paradise, with a network of rivers and streams as well as high altitude lakes abounding in trout - both brown and rainbow.
Kashmir's fabled natural beauty needs no introduction. The river Sindh & Lidder offer some of the finest mountain river trout fish anywhere in the world today providing a wild environment for trout, as their waters are swollen during the summer by melting glaciers. At this time they offer very demanding sport, compelling the anglers to fish deeply on the edge of the rock-strewn torrent. A day spent beside the river, meandering through the rugged bolder-strewn hillside, will remain in your memory forever.
