Barot is located in Mandi Distt. in Himanchal Pardesh. It is an Anglers paradise. The Barot village is situated on the interaction of two rivers Uhl and Lumberdug, both filled with Himalayan trout fish. The Place is ideal for Angling, fishing, trekking, picnic, camping and other various outdoor activities.
You require a fishing permit, which can be purchased at 100 rs per day from the HP fisheries office situated at the start of the village. The same permit is applicable for angling on both the rivers. Make sure you have the right equipment to catch small trout fishes. A 4 lb, 6 lb, 8 lb line should be good and size 0 spinners. Make sure you have plenty of spinners as you tend to loose many.
There are a few decent places to stay, on average one room would cost you somewhere between 400-600Rs Per day, which is pretty affordable huh.
IF you are not able to catch anything do not worry the HP fisheries trout farm sells trout fish at around 150-180 Rs per Kg and you can take it to any of the local restaurant which would galdly cook them for you.
