The area above Nagtaley till about 40 km is a remote stretch few anglers have explored. This entire stretch has no road access, which is perhaps the reason for its raw untamed beauty. Most of the beats are accessible only by walk but if you are not up to it, horses can move you around. Scattered villages, terraced fields, ancient riverside temples, the occasional wildlife and large elusive fish are what characterize this angling tour.
The nearest road head is about 8 km away at Harda that also has panoramic views of the Icy Himalayas. We stay in camping tents on the river and have ponies to ferry our belongings. Rafting is another excellent way to fish this stretch of the Ramganga. However it is possible only in the monsoon months from July till October when the water level is high.
Since this area doesn't come in the Corbett Tiger Reserve, there are fewer restrictions. Another advantage is that fishing at Nagtaley and around is possible all year round, though at any point of time you are likely to be the only fishing party with pool after pool waiting to be fished.

Being a wildlife photographer all you need when traveling is the right light at the right place and moment. Light is all about photography and only Mother Nature can decide about it. Nevertheless having guides that know where and when the right light might be, helps a lot! I would like to thank Wild World India for the great support, perfect organization and best guides during our tiger-shooting safari in India.
