The Project
Free Flowing is a documentary project exploring Nepal’s Seti and Karnali river system through expedition, fly fishing, and life along the river. Traveling by raft through remote Himalayan terrain, the project combines adventure with an examination of the ecological and cultural importance of free-flowing rivers.As hydropower development threatens to permanently change the Seti–Karnali system, Free Flowing aims to document the river, its fisheries, and the communities who depend on it — capturing a living river at a critical moment in time.

Why join this expedition?
This is a two-week rafting and fly-fishing expedition through remote Himalayan river canyons — no roads, no crowds, and no easy access.You’ll travel by raft down the Seti River into the Karnali, Nepal’s last major free-flowing river system. Days are spent fishing wild water for Golden Mahseer, reading currents, earning each cast, and camping on riverbanks that very few people will ever stand on.This expedition exists because the river still flows freely — for now. By joining, you’re not only experiencing a rare adventure, you’re also supporting the production of Free Flowing, a documentary capturing this river, its fishing, and the communities who depend on it before it changes.
