Himalayan Ibex Hunting in Pakistan – A True Mountain Adventure
The Himalayan Ibex (Capra sibirica hemalayanus) is one of the most iconic and sought-after mountain species found in the northern highlands of Pakistan, especially across Gilgit-Baltistan, Nagar, Hunza, Skardu, and Chitral. Known for its majestic curved horns, thick winter coat, and incredible climbing skills, the Himalayan Ibex thrives in some of the most breathtaking and challenging mountain landscapes in the world. These powerful animals live at altitudes above 3,000 meters, where the snow-covered peaks of the Karakoram and Himalayas dominate the horizon.
For hunting enthusiasts and adventure travelers, Himalayan Ibex hunting in Pakistan offers an unmatched combination of thrill, natural beauty, and cultural experience. Every hunt is not just a pursuit—it’s a journey through dramatic valleys, frozen ridges, and remote mountain villages where local traditions and warm hospitality add a unique touch to the expedition. Today, through Pakistan’s Community-Based Trophy Hunting Program, Ibex hunting is fully legal, ethical, and sustainable—ensuring that local communities benefit directly while wildlife populations continue to thrive.
Whether you’re a seasoned trophy hunter or a first-time adventurer, the Himalayan Ibex represents the ultimate high-altitude challenge. Its elusive nature, stunning habitat, and conservation-driven hunting framework make Pakistan one of the top destinations for Ibex hunting worldwide. The experience promises not only a world-class trophy but also an unforgettable encounter with the wild heart of the mountains.

The provided pricing is determined by current trophy permit rates applicable for 2025-26. Our company is committed in
absorbing minor costs increases. However, in the event of substantial rise in permit fees, the hunter will be responsible
for covering the additional expenses.
Our quotations are structured based on the existing trophy permit costs and prevailing rates for accommodation,
transportation, etc. Trophy permits are allocated to Pakistani outfitters through an open auction, with permits granted
to the highest bidder at fixed prices. In cases of marginal increases during the auction, we will include these in the cost.
Yet, significant changes will be communicated and invoiced separately for the hunter’s awareness and payment
