Bhutan Fishing Tour is an opportunity to explore and discover one of the last undiscovered fishing destinations of the world. Fishing in Bhutan remains largely undiscovered. You will have a very unique experience fishing in the crystal clear and glacier fed rivers of Bhutan. The most common varieties are the snow trout (belonging to the carp family) and the brown trout (which has thrived since its introduction some decades ago). The best times for fishing are in spring (March to May) and fall (September to November).
