Pakistan Blue Sheep

A true Himalayan prize. The blue sheep — or bharal (Pseudois nayaur) — lives on the steep, wind-scoured slopes of Pakistan's far northern mountains, and a mature ram with heavy, out-turned horns is one of the most coveted trophies in all of mountain hunting. This is a demanding, high-altitude spot-and-stalk hunt above 12,000 feet: long days glassing broken cliffs and scree, then closing the distance on foot for the shot. Tiny permit quotas make it one of the most exclusive sheep hunts in Asia. Expect capable local guides, remote camps, and staggering Karakoram scenery. A 10% deposit secures your booking, followed by a scheduled payment plan.

First class start to finish

Second hunt with Dispatch and the Himalayan Blue Sheep trip did not disappoint. Gilgit-Baltistan is no joke — physically demanding — but the camp, the food and the guiding were all first class. Tagged out on a great animal and made memories that'll last forever.

They handled everything

Tough, fair and unforgettable. We glassed hard for days before I got my shot at a mature Himalayan Blue Sheep. Gilgit-Baltistan is stunning. Dispatch set expectations honestly up front — no sales pitch, just straight talk.

No hype, just results

From the first phone call to the flight home, these folks were dialed in. The Himalayan Blue Sheep country in Gilgit-Baltistan is everything they said it would be. Professional guides, honest advice, and a hunt I'll be telling stories about for years.
