About This Tour

While Markhor commands the highest permit prices, Himalayan Ibex and Blue Sheep (Bharal) offer more permit availability and represent exceptional mountain hunting experiences in their own right. The Ibex — with its dramatic backward-sweeping horns reaching 140cm+ — is hunted in the same remote Karakoram Community Conservation Areas as Markhor. Blue Sheep (Bharal) occupy the high plateaus of Deosai and similar terrain at elevations above 4,000m. Both species are hunted under the GB Community Conservation Programme with permit fees flowing back to local villages. The hunts involve multi-day treks to elevated camps, dawn departures with experienced trackers, and stalking on the same dramatic terrain that defines Pakistan's mountains. For international hunters seeking an outstanding mountain trophy in a truly remote and spectacular setting, Himalayan Ibex hunting in Pakistan offers extraordinary value.
