Pakistan Kashmir Markhor

The heaviest-horned markhor of them all, in the storied Chitral and Kohistan valleys of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Kashmir markhor — long-flowing winter cape, huge open corkscrew horns and a shaggy beard — is a genuine once-in-a-lifetime trophy, and the community conservancies of Chitral Gol and Tooshi are the great success story of Pakistani conservation. Only one trophy permit is available for the season. The hunt is pure Himalayan goat hunting: hard glassing across cliff faces and holly-oak slopes, then a long stalk on foot for a mature billy. Government-licensed PH and guides, village shikaris who know every draw, field camps, and all permits, licences and transfers handled end to end. Pricing follows the season's permit allocation — request availability and an advisor will send the full quote.

Hard hunt, huge payoff

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

Earned it — and loved it

From the first phone call to the flight home, these folks were dialed in. The Kashmir Markhor country in Chitral & Kohistan is everything they said it would be. Professional guides, honest advice, and a hunt I'll be telling stories about for years.

Best-run hunt I've been on

Can't say enough about this one. The Kashmir Markhor hunt in Chitral & Kohistan 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.
