The mission of Wanderlust Flyfishing Adventures is to provide safe and enjoyable international angling services for our guests. It is always our policy to do so in the most professional and good-humored manner possible. We believe that global angling travel is one of the most rewarding endeavors that can be experienced not only because of the exciting fishing opportunities but because of the friendships and relationships that blossom along the way. If you share our philosophy, please join us on an adventure you will never forget!

Himalayan Rivers United: Non-Profit Organization
We recommend HRU, a non-profit organization working to promote river conservation in the Himalayas.
How You Can Get Involved - Join HRU in the Himalayas!
Himalayan Rivers United believes that there are many effective ways to promote positive change. However, it is our approach to do much of our work on the ground with the people who are most directly affected. Therefore, each year, HRU hosts volunteer visits to our focus areas. Volunteers are responsible for the cost of their travel expenses but HRU will provide all logistics and leadership. By offering this service to our volunteer contributors, HRU benefits the indigenous populations in a face-to-face manner that is intended to maximize our impact. If traveling to the Himalayas and connecting with local people in a powerful and meaningful way is attractive to you and your lifepath, join us! For more information, contact us here.
