The Kashmir Markhor (Capra falconeri cashmiriensis) stands as one of the most magnificent and prestigious wild mountain goats in the world. Renowned for its majestic spiral horns, proud stance, and striking coat, the Kashmir Markhor symbolizes the untamed beauty and strength of Pakistan’s northern highlands. Found mainly in the rugged regions of Chitral, Gilgit, and the foothills of the Hindu Kush, this rare species thrives in steep, rocky terrain where its agility and endurance are unmatched. The Markhor, often called the “King of the Mountains,” is the ultimate dream trophy for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

For those seeking the pinnacle of mountain hunting, Kashmir Markhor hunting in Pakistan offers a truly world-class experience. Every expedition combines the thrill of pursuit with the breathtaking scenery of the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges. Through Pakistan’s Community-Based Trophy Hunting Program (CBTHP), Markhor hunting is conducted under strict regulations that ensure sustainability, conservation, and local benefit. A large portion of hunting permit fees is reinvested into community welfare and wildlife protection—turning trophy hunting into a vital tool for species preservation.

The Kashmir Markhor remains one of the most valuable and rare hunting trophies in the world, attracting enthusiasts from across the globe. Beyond the trophy, every hunt is a journey into Pakistan’s wild heart—a blend of adventure, natural beauty, and cultural richness that defines the true spirit of high-altitude hunting.
