Angling Festival at Vyasghat, Uttarakhand 

The Land of Pauri Garhwal is blessed with splendid view of snow-bound peaks of Himalayas, scenic valleys & surroundings, meandering Ganga, dense forests and hospitable people with a rich culture. Filled with places of tourist interest, most locations in Pauri Garhwal offer a breathtaking view of the snow-laden Himalayan Splendor. 

The Himalayan golden Mahseer has always been regarded as one of the ultimate challenges for serious anglers across the world. And one of the best spot for Angling is the Nayar rivulet of the Ganges which is merging in Vyasghat in Pauri Garhwal.

​

We at Jagrav Foundation plan to pursue this objective by promoting responsible angling with a strict catch & release policy. Furthermore, we intend on educating various communities which live alongside Himalayan rivers on the advantage of conservation and a more balanced approach towards fishing. This will not only have a positive impact on the environment but also on their long-term sustainability. Casting for Gold. Mahseer fishing with Dr. John Bailey and Paul Boote was documented here in Vyasghat about 30 years ago.
