The Ankhukhola Homestay Fishing Tour can be an unforgettable experience that not many tourists get to enjoy. This homestay is about 130km. northwest of Kathmandu. This homestay is in a non-touristic area. To take part in this fishing tour, you can use public transport or a private vehicle. After driving for approximately 5-6 hours, you will reach this beautiful village, set in a valley along the Ankhukhola River. The farmers who practice Hinduism grow three crops in one year, along with other vegetables according to the season. The people in the fishing tour area are friendly and helpful. They welcome you very well and teach you to fish the Nepali way.
Around the Ankhukhola Homestay, you can see many different types of birds and other wildlife in the subtropical cedar forest, which is a community forest. You can enjoy farming, such as planting rice with the farmer in the summer. Having fresh, organic food is another great way to support your health during your stay in Nepal. Enjoying the taste of local fish from the Ankhukhola River with local homemade millet wine is also a memorable experience for outsiders at this Ankhukhola homestay. There are bigger green hills around this homestay valley, so you can spend your nights on that hilltop, where you can see the excellent sunrise and incredible mountain views of Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and the Langtang Himalayan range. Several historical Hindu temples are good for getting your faith in this homestay fishing area. Besides kayaking on the Ankhu River and swimming, there are other fun things to do on the Fishing Tour.
Frolic Adventure can be a good way for you to have such an experience. We organize your homestay tour to enrich your life experience, with quality service at a reasonable cost.
