Ibex Hunting
Hunt the Markhor's Kin — Himalayan Ibex Expeditions in the World's Highest Hunting Grounds
Overview
The Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges of northern Pakistan shelter one of the world's most impressive wild goat populations — the Himalayan and Siberian Ibex. Permits are issued by Pakistan's wildlife authorities to a limited number of hunters each season, ensuring conservation-led trophy hunting that directly funds local community programs and anti-poaching patrols.

Conservation Note
Pakistan's community-based trophy hunting model directs a significant percentage of all permit and expedition fees into village conservation funds. These funds support anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration, and sustainable livelihood programs for local communities.
