One of the rarest sheep on earth, hunted in the ancient Salt Range south of Islamabad. The Punjab urial — a compact, red-coated ram with a deep black bib and heavy, out-swept horns — exists nowhere else in the world. Only a handful of trophy permits are issued each season through Pakistan's community-based conservancy program, and the fees flow straight back to the villages that protect the herds. Expect classic spot-and-stalk hunting in dry, broken limestone hills: cool mornings glassing from the ridges, then a careful stalk on a mature ram. Comfortable hotel-based logistics out of Islamabad, a short drive from the hunting areas, with government-licensed guides handling every permit, transfer and formality. Pricing is set by permit allocation each season — request availability and an advisor will send the full quote and open dates.

From the first phone call to the flight home, these folks were dialed in. The Punjab Urial country in Salt Range is everything they said it would be. Professional guides, honest advice, and a hunt I'll be telling stories about for years.
Booked my Punjab Urial hunt through Dispatch and it was flawless start to finish. The advisor was honest about the terrain and fitness in Salt Range, and everything they promised showed up exactly as described. My guide knew the country cold. Can't recommend it enough.
