The Desert Jewels of Southern Pakistan

Superb trophy taken among the rocks and sky.

The Sindh Ibex (Capra aegagrus blythi) is one of Pakistan’s signature mountain trophies—compact, spectacularly horned, and hunted in some of the most dramatic desert‑mountain terrain in Central Asia. It’s a prestige species with a long conservation legacy and a tightly regulated permit system that ensures their prosperity.

Sindh Ibex hunts are virtually 100% successful as are the hunts for Blanford Urial which cohabitate in the same range and are huntable from the same base hunting lodge. They both range among the arid cliffs, broken escarpments, sun‑blasted plateaus, and rocky crags just a 2- to 3-hour drive from Karachi. Our team at Caprinae Safaris are veterans of the hunt in Pakistan, having arranged hundreds of hunts from north to south.

And Pakistan is the most misunderstood of all the Central Asian countries. As a "brand", Pakistan may suffer a bit geopolitically. But these perceptions are proven wrong by every hunter who experiences it. Warm and welcoming hosts, highly professional hunting teams, precise organization of the hunt, and amazing hunting.

A superb Blanford Urial - found in strong numbers.
