The concept of Berry curvature is essential for various transport phenomena. However, an effect of the Berry curvature on magnetochiral anisotropy, i.e. nonreciprocal magneto-transport, is still elusive. Here, we report the Berry curvature originates the large magnetochiral anisotropy. In Weyl-semimetal WTe2, we observed the strong enhancement of the magnetochiral anisotropy when the Fermi level is located near the Weyl points. Notably, the maximal figure of merit $\bar{\gamma}$ reaches $1.2\,{\times}10^{-6} \rm{m^2T^{-1}A^{-1}}$, which is the largest ever reported in bulk materials. Our semiclassical calculation shows that the diverging Berry curvature at the Weyl points strongly enhances the magnetochiral anisotropy.
