About this hunt

You will hunt in a region so called “Rubin of Darshay", which is situated near the border with Afghanistan in the valleys of the Wakhan. An experience you will never forget! Discover the breathtaking beauty of never-ending landscapes, high peaks and the traditional inhabitants of Tajikistan. Ibex are offered only in very limited numbers to avoid negative impact on the population which also serves as an important prey for the snow leopard. To ensure sustainable use and minimal impact on the population, we concentrate on old class animals at least over 8 years. Ibex horns are above 41,5 inches (105 cm). Day 1-2: Arrival at the airport, Transfer to the hunting territory, acclimatisation and setting up of the camp. Day 3-9: Dedicated to the hunt. Day 10-11: Transfer back to Dushanbe We are ready to tailor your hunt to your wishes. Flexibility in the number of hunting days as well as on species. If you are successful within the first days, we also offer the possibility to combine your trip with an unforgettable big tusker hunt, with no additional costs besides the shooting fee. Family and friends are very welcome. We would be delighted to organise special hiking tours and sightseeing programs for your family while you are on your chase.

A great hunting trip to Tajikistan

9.7 of 10

The whole trip was fantastic. Exactly the adventure I was looking for. I was picked up from the airport and driven (about 8h on mixed roads) to the West Central area of Tajikistan right into the shadow of Peak Ismoil Somoni. After arrival we overnighted in a small village and ate delicious local food. The next morning, we hiked out to the hunting camp, which consisted of two large wall tents and rugged amenities. The food and the company in camp was both great and the guides (huntsman) appeared knowledgeable and friendly despite the language barrier. (An interpreter was always present to help with communications). The next morning, we headed out to find the Ibex; after a rather challenging 3h hike up in a creek bed and after seeing a brown bear sow with two second year cubs, we reached the headwall of a high basin at about 12000 feet and spotted about 50-60 Ibex bedded on a glacier. We were able to climb above them and successfully harvest a 12-year-old billy with 122 cm horns. I could not be happier. The next day we hiked back to camp, and the day after drove back to Dushanbe. All in all, a trip of a lifetime. I would love to do it again.

Nothing really, the whole experience was great. Maybe the only thing that would have been nice was to know in advance how many guides (huntsman) and other personnel was in camp to be able to tip them adequately. But again, I could have also taken a bit more money with me right of the bat.

A real mountain hunt.

10.0 of 10

This is a true adventure in every way and a real mountain hunt. The guides and helpers will do everything possible to help you be successful but it is a real real hunt in massive mountains. The people are kind. The guides are knowledgeable and just love to hunt. The ibex are plentiful. This hunt was on my bucket list and it lived up to every expectation that I had. A dream trip that I'll never forget. I was able to take a fantastic 9yr ibex on the first day after a 4hr+ stalk in some brutal country. He was exactly what I was hoping for. The other hunter in camp killed a great 10yr ibex 2 days later. This is the best value out there in terms of adventure mountain hunting. Another big perk is all the money stays local giving locals jobs and funding conservation and studies for all the wildlife that live in the Pamir Mountains. The area I was hunting is only 9 miles from Afghanistan, but I never felt unsafe. Every bit of meat is kept and shared by the village and all the meat we ate on the hunt was ibex. Because of these hunts and hunter dollars the poaching is non existent now and these awesome animals have value. Its a pretty fantastic success story.

The drive from Dushanbe was really long to get to hunting area. I knew this before the hunt, but it was the only part of the hunt that wasn't really enjoyable.

Reliable High quality Good value for money Unique

Незабываемая охота на козерога в Джиргаталь

9.7 of 10

Очень понравилась охота и как все организовано. Вся команда организаторов старалась как могла с момента прилета и обратно. Особенно молодцы проводники, которые старалсь найти, подсказать и добыть что-то реально, что называется, oversized...)) Что в итоге и получилось во многом благодаря их стараниям и упорству. Охота очень-очень ходовая. Дневные переходы 10-15 км, в том числе до 1000м подьемы. К этому надо быть готовым физически и морально. Треккинг очень схож с нашим Кавказом кто бывал, только масштабы побольше))

Ничего стоящего упоминания не было. Мелкие ньюансы - не в счет...
