Ibex in Tajikistan

Mid-Asian Ibex hunter with Ansten high in the mountains

Mid-Asian Ibex

We offer trophy Mid-Asian Ibex hunting in Tajikistan, which is best known for its stunning mountainous Pamir range, often called the world’s roof. The hunt takes place in mountainous terrain and there are no special requirements for hunter beyond normal physical condition. Base camp is located about 11,500 feet above sea level, with hunts going up to 16,400 feet.

Each hunter has their own guide and moves in the terrain on foot and using horses. The total duration of the journey is 8 to 10 days, with 6 to 7 hunting days.

The camp is heated by coal or oil furnaces and has electric power and even satellite TV. Spike tent camps may be used if needed. The rugged mountains have little in the line of grass and while the ibex do use the mountains as a daytime bedding ground, they generally move to the valley floors and foothills to feed and can be hunted in relatively gentle terrain in early mornings and evenings. Pamir Argali (Marco Poli) share the same valley and a combo hunt is very successful in Karakul Valley.
