CONSULT WITH THE BEST

High in the Himalayas, Nepal’s Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve and surrounding regions offer legal hunts for blue sheep (bharal) and Himalayan tahr. Blue sheep season runs from October through March, with the rut occurring in November and December when temperatures above 3 000 metres can be bitterly cold. Regulated community‑based hunting supports conservation and directs revenue to local villages.

Towering peaks and strict quotas make Nepal a premier destination for blue sheep and Himalayan tahr.

Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve Nepal’s only legal hunting reserve is divided into seven blocks. Hunters trek and ride horses through alpine meadows and rocky ridges to spot blue sheep and Himalayan tahr. Camps are basic and often reached after multiday hikes.

Get Started

Western Himalaya (Dolpo & Mustang) Some operators offer combination hunts for blue sheep and Himalayan tahr in extremely remote valleys. Access may require charter flights and long pack‑trains.

Season & Methods Blue sheep hunts run October–March, with the rut in Nov–Dec; hunters spot animals from a distance in early morning and late afternoon, then stalk into shooting range using optics and flat‑shooting rifles.

Conservation & Community Trophy fees from blue sheep hunts are reinvested into local communities and have contributed to increasing blue sheep populations, benefiting predators like the snow leopard.

Get Started

Altitude and weather pose the greatest challenges. Temperatures can plummet well below freezing, and snowstorms may delay hunts. Hunters must acclimatise slowly and be prepared to camp for extended periods in basic conditions.

Notable Species Available in Nepal Include:

Muntjac Deer

For hunters who seek true adventure, Nepal delivers with sky‑high camps, diurnal sheep and an inspiring conservation model. The combination of physical challenge and cultural immersion makes a blue sheep or Himalayan tahr hunt here unforgettable.
