Trout Fishing in Swat

Half-day to 2 daysEasy

About This Activity

Swat Valley is renowned for its excellent trout fishing opportunities. The crystal-clear rivers and streams of this region are home to both brown and rainbow trout, introduced during the colonial era and now thriving in these cold mountain waters. The main fishing spots include the Swat River and its tributaries, especially around Kalam and Madyan. Local guides can help you find the best spots and may provide equipment if needed. The peaceful surroundings of pine forests and mountain views make this activity enjoyable even for beginners. Many hotels and resorts in the area can arrange fishing permits and guides, as well as prepare your catch for a delicious meal.
