ROUTE

Arrival city is Islamabad. If you plan to hunt Blanford Urial and Sind Ibex, then it is possible to fly directly to Karachi via Dubai.
Once you arrive in Islamabad, the domestic flight shall follow to Gilgit, Quetta or Chitral depending on the trophy you aim at. The car transfer to the hunting area will take 3 to 6 hours from the local airport.
Please keep in mind that the local flight might be canceled due to bad weather. In that case, the hunters will be transferred to the hunting area by car, the drive takes up to 15-16 hours.

HUNTING

This is a classical mountain hunt. Hunting for Markhor and Urial is quite demanding physically, because long distance hiking is necessary during the day. The animals stay at elevations of about 8,200-11,500 feet (2,500–3,500 meters).
Hunting for Blanford Urial and Sind Ibex does not call for extensive physical exercise, because the species prefer the elevations of 1,650-4,900 feet (500–1,500 meters).

PAKISTAN

Pakistan is not listed among the popular tourist destinations – due to the image created by mass media. However, the country is safe and has a lot to show to the traveler. Ancient relics and pieces of architecture, beautiful sand beaches of Arabian Sea, resorts and Islamic holy sites will hold a fascination of diverse Asia for you.
