Nepal is the richest country in terms of biodiversity and natural resources. There is variation in altitude and geographical location. Geographically, Nepal consists of three different zones. Species in these regions are as diverse as geographical location. Himalayan tahr, Blue Sheep, ‘Snow Leopard, Wild Boar, and several species of deer are the common species in these areas. Blue Sheep hunting and Himalayan tahr hunting are the famous hunting in Nepal. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation provides the hunting license and permission for some animals to hunt.
Hunting in Nepal takes place at extreme altitude in very challenging terrain and rocky mountains. The good physical condition is a must to go hunt. The shooting average distance can be very long. So we recommend generally rifles in the 300 magnum class. In addition, hunters have to practice very well before going hunting. Generally, be comfortable shooting at distances of 400 yards and more. Hunters should be aware of the potentially fatal risks of hunting at high altitudes in Nepal. Similarly, it is very important to discuss preparations with a medical professional beforehand.

Hunting Himalayan tahr and blue sheep here is arguably one of the world’s greatest mountain hunts. It’s possible to go in either spring or fall. Hunting in rocky mountains and Himalayan is an extreme which requires excellent physical fitness. There is usually about 5 days hike just to get to the hunting areas after helicopter drops.
