Bhutan is one of the last unexplored sport fishing paradises on the planet. Its centuries-old mystique and limited exposure to the outside world make it a true hidden gem for sport fishing enthusiasts. The absence of comprehensive research adds to the mystique, with approximately 40 fish species identified, including new discoveries each year.
Fishing in Bhutan encompasses diverse landscapes, from expansive rivers to crystal-clear spring-fed streams, spanning elevations from 1200m to 3000m. Snow trout, a carp family member, and the thriving brown trout (introduced several decades ago) are among the common catches.
Prime fishing seasons in Bhutan are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), offering optimal angling conditions.
Bhutan presents a unique fusion of fishing pleasure, pristine trout streams, mountain panoramas, and cultural heritage dating back to the 8th century. The opportunity to fish in crystalline rivers against breathtaking backdrops fulfills every angler's dream.

Tentative Itinerary
At Found Bhutan Tours and Treks, we do not take our guests on a virtual tour before arriving in Bhutan. We want our guests to fully explore and experience Bhutan first-hand. Therefore, we keep our itinerary short and less descriptive.
- One of the most breathtaking mountain flights in the world, the journey to Paro offers a continuously shifting view of some of the world's highest peaks. Once customs procedures are completed, our representative from Found Bhutan will meet you at the Paro airport exit doors.
- Our team extends a warm traditional welcome and accompanies you to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. Enjoy a scenic journey of just over an hour to reach Thimphu, where you'll check into our hotel and savor a delightful lunch. Explore the afternoon by visiting the Memorial Chorten, a tribute to the late 3rd king, and take in the serene atmosphere. Venture to the Buddha Point at Kuensel Phodrang, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the lowlands, before returning to your hotel to prepare for the adventures of the upcoming day. Your overnight stay in Thimphu, at an altitude of 2400m, promises a tranquil and comfortable experience.

With the right flies, you can expect to encounter various trout species, including snow trout and catfish. If you wish, we can continue our day with an evening city sightseeing tour. Enjoy your overnight stay in Thimphu, where memorable experiences and comfortable accommodations await.
- Kickstart your day with an early meal, and then delve into the rich cultural heritage of Thimphu. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the serene art of fishing at various spots throughout the day. Bhutan's strong religious ties make fishing a people-friendly and peaceful pursuit, occasionally even in still waters. As we arrive in Paro, you'll check in at your hotel and unwind or opt to explore the charming, compact town of Paro. Your overnight stay in Paro, at an elevation of 2200m, promises a tranquil experience amidst the stunning Bhutanese landscapes.
- Haa provides an incredible opportunity for catch and release fishing, and we'll spend our evening in the timeless Haa valley, which opened its doors to tourists not too long ago. Here, you can expect to encounter similar fish species and catla in the Haa river. While en-route, we may embark on a scenic hike around Chelela Pass and visit the enchanting Kila Gonpa Nunnery, adding to the adventure.
