Trophy hunting (Shikar) of surplus wild animals in
the recognized northern and southern national
parks are getting popular now. We have chosen the
Northern National Parks for Markhor hunting.
Remote Northern Areas are known as one of the best hunting
destination for mountain animals. The geographical
structure and the unique bio- diversity of the Northern
Pakistan has recognized as a fitting destination for
hunting. Foreign tourist hunters, can hunt with special
hunting permission by the concerned authorities. Please
ask for hunting accessories special to mountains, hunting
permission, grounds and dates of hunt.
The Northern Areas of Pakistan comprises of the most
rugged mountain terrain in the world.Situated at the
meeting point of the three greatest mountain ranges in the
world ( The Himalayas, the Hindu Kush and the Karakorams )
this region covers an area greater than the Austria and
Switzerland together.
Nestled between Afghanistan, China, Ladakh and India this
is the remotest and most inaccessible mountain region in
the world.
With over 460 mountains higher than 6000m, and five of the
world’s fourteen highest peaks this rugged region offers a
sanctury to some of the rare and most prized species of
wildlife. The list of species found in this great
wilderness is very long.
There are several species of ibex found all over this vast
mountain region. With the strict control on hunting some
of them reaching phenomenal sizes offering rewarding
trophies to the daring hunters who venture in this great
wilderness.
Any hunting trip in this inaccessible area needs careful
planning. A number of permits from the local and federal
authorities, special import and re-export licenses for the
firearms as well as permits to carry and use these inside
the country are required. These often take several weeks
to process and must be obtained before the arrival of
hunting party in the country
