Fresh. Natural. Himalayan.

02The essence

Water this coldkeeps its own standards.

Himalayan Trout is the largest formal organization associated with trout in Pakistan. We pisciculture rainbow and brown trout in fresh glacier-melted natural water across northern and KPK regions.

Our production outlets sit on the banks of the Kunhar, Siren and Swat rivers — the same waters that carried trout into this region a century ago.

We pisciculture troutin the natural environment.

Trout and byproducts are delivered to health-conscious and taste-loving people by utilising the latest technological improvements. We empower a highly creative team of professionals to provide safe, hygienic and eco-friendly products, growing profitably through our partner outlets.

Natural environment
Fresh glacier-melted water in northern and KPK regions — the fish are raised in the river's own conditions.
Hygiene through the chain
Attention from capturing, cleaning and packing through to transportation and unpacking, following international quality standards.
Cold held steady
Cooling vans carry freezer boxes designed to hold +10 to −10°C, the range that preserves trout.
Care and quality
Two of our eight values, applied to the fish, the water and the people who work with both.

05Values

Himalayan Trout operates with these eight core values. We strive to be one of the most socially responsible companies on the planet, and appreciate the employees who make that happen with honesty, openness, fairness and integrity.

06Our story

Nearly a centurywith trout.

In the British era the Duke of Bedford sent trout ova toward Kashmir. The second batch survived, and fish were sent on to Naran, northern Kashmir and Swat. Kashmir, Swat, Naran and Gilgit are now the hatchery and production areas of the region.

  1. 1923

    A hobby in Swat Valley

    Our ancestors became associated with trout hunting in Swat Valley — 1923 is believed to be the year trout first became available in the area.

  2. 1952

    The barter years

    Local-level commercialization began, using a barter exchange mechanism for river-based trout.

  3. 1999

    Family table

    Until 1999 the family met only personal and family requirements of trout.

  4. 2000

    First farm

    Trout farming began at a small scale — the first step from river to raceway.

  5. 2019

    Swat to Mansehra

    The operation expanded out of Swat into Mansehra, widening the valleys we work in.

  6. 2020

    A national plan

    In collaboration with the government the number of farms increased and, for the first time in Pakistan's history, a trout export plan was developed.

  7. 2021

    First formal exporter

    Himalayan Trout became the first formal trout exporting company in Pakistan.

07The water that defines us

Born incold water.

Rainbow and brown trout are raised in fresh glacier-melted natural water across northern and KPK regions of Pakistan. Production outlets stand on the banks of three rivers — the water arrives cold, and we keep it that way.

08Meet the trout

Two fish,one current.

We pisciculture rainbow and brown trout — raised in running glacier melt, not still water.
