Kyrgyzstan Marco Polo & Ibex

World-class mountain hunting in the Tian Shan. Kyrgyzstan offers some of the finest Marco Polo argali and mid-Asian ibex hunting on earth — enormous rams in the Naryn region's Arpa Valley and heavy, scimitar-horned billies across dramatic alpine terrain from 8,500 to 14,000 feet. You'll hunt horseback-and-spot-and-stalk with 1×1 professional guides, based out of comfortable yurts or heated cabins and remote spike camps. Two packages: the 12-day Marco Polo Argali + Mid-Asian Ibex combo at $46,000, or a focused 7-day mid-Asian ibex hunt at $14,000. All-inclusive in the field — licenses, guiding, lodging, meals, horses, transfers, interpreter, sat-phone and trophy prep. A physically honest, genuinely once-in-a-lifetime mountain hunt. A 50% deposit confirms your booking.

No hype, just results

From the first phone call to the flight home, these folks were dialed in. The Marco Polo Argali country in Tian Shan Mountains is everything they said it would be. Professional guides, honest advice, and a hunt I'll be telling stories about for years.

Dream hunt, delivered

Tough, fair and unforgettable. We glassed hard for days before I got my shot at a mature Marco Polo Argali. Tian Shan Mountains is stunning. Dispatch set expectations honestly up front — no sales pitch, just straight talk.

Straight talk, zero surprises

Can't say enough about this one. The Marco Polo Argali hunt in Tian Shan Mountains pushed me, but the crew took great care of us. Trophy care was excellent and the whole thing ran like clockwork. Already planning my next trip with them.
