Overview
Hunting Himalayan Ibex is a quintessential mountain hunting experience. It commences with positioning oneself above the animals and using binoculars to spot them. The hunt culminates in a meticulously planned stalk and a demanding long-range shot. On occasion, the guides may opt for an impromptu drive, with their efforts directed at driving the animal towards the concealed hunter. Given that many of the country's mountains are too steep for horseback access, hunters should be mentally and physically prepared for a substantial exertion
