The Babai.
The Untouched Sanctuary of Bardiya.
The Babai runs through the pristine wilderness of Bardiya National Park in Western Nepal — a restricted sanctuary protected from commercial fishing, with stunning gravel banks and dense sal forests.
Protected Sanctuary
A no-commercial-fishing reserve inside a national park — untouched stocks and zero crowding.
Gin-Clear Sight Water
Shallow gravel flats let you spot and stalk feeding Mahseer with light fly tackle.
Technical Hydraulic Slots & Pools
Shallow Gravel Flats
Perfect for stealth sight casting with fly tackle. The clear water makes visual tracking of feeding Mahseer possible.
Undercut Roots
Shadowy zones where older trout and medium-sized Mahseer rest during the heat of the day.
Quiet Pool Inlets
Low-velocity areas where food accumulates, attracting school fish and large lone predators alike.
Exclusive Wilderness Camps.
On our technical float campaigns, the journey is just as important as the destination. We set up mobile base camps on pristine white sand beaches that are inaccessible by any road.
