Pakistan Himalayan Ibex

A classic Karakoram mountain hunt. Pursue the Himalayan ibex — heavy, sweeping horns and a true test of the mountain hunter — in Pakistan's storied Hunza Valley. This is a 10-day trip (Islamabad to Islamabad) with five full days of spot-and-stalk hunting, glassing high slopes from 2,800 up to 4,500 meters, then closing on foot for the shot. Fully guided by government-licensed, English-speaking mountain guides and PHs, with comfortable hotels in the cities, remote camps in the field, and every permit, license and transfer handled for you. Priced per hunter — bring a partner and the per-person rate drops.

Straight talk, zero surprises

Second hunt with Dispatch and the Himalayan Ibex trip did not disappoint. Hunza Valley 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.

Exactly as promised

Booked my Himalayan Ibex hunt through Dispatch and it was flawless start to finish. The advisor was honest about the terrain and fitness in Hunza Valley, and everything they promised showed up exactly as described. My guide knew the country cold. Can't recommend it enough.

First class start to finish

Everything was handled — licensing, transfers, logistics. I just had to show up and hunt. The Himalayan Ibex were right where the guides said they'd be. Honest outfitter, zero surprises, and worth every penny.
