Fishing in the crystal clear glacial waters of the Tirthan River is heaven for any fly-angler. And even if you haven’t before mastered your patience and the art of fishing – this experience is a great beginner. The river is abundant with trout fishes and even home to the coveted Rainbow Trout. Besides the fishing, the campsite at Jibhi is like the world divided in two. You step out of the campsite and the green surroundings, the pine trees, the Jibhi River greet you. You step into your tents and immediately feel like it all disappears to provide you with a bed, and other luxuries like wi-fi and attached bathroom. It’s like a two second ride to the outside world and back. This experience takes you to Jibhi, its beautiful meadows and quaint campsite nearby the Jibhi River. But it’s in the Tirthan Valley and its river’s crystal clear waters – where are Trout Fishing experience begins. The river is known for the abundance of trouts from the much sought after Rainbow Trout to the Brown Trout.
