Blue sheep

Pakistan is one of the unique countries that is blessed with a great variety of mountain game animals. It is not only rich in diversity; it also holds healthy populations of some of the rarest animals which do not exist anywhere else in the world. Among many hunting trophies, one of them is the Himalayan Blue Sheep. Himalayan Blue Sheep known also as Bharal is indigenous to Pakistan along with Nepal. This race with its good number of population occupies most of the Karakorum Range of Gilgit-Baltistan province of Pakistan which is about a few hundred kilometres east of Kashmir Markhor range. Hunting can be carried out in two different community managed areas north of the Gilgit region. The tags for the hunt are issued in very limited numbers by the wildlife department of the government of Pakistan. This hunt can easily be combined with Astore Markhor or Himalayan Ibex.
