Wildlife Hunting in Nepal
YOUR HUNTING ADVENTURE IN THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS AND JUNGLE OF NEPAL…
Long isolated from the rest of the world, the kingdom of Nepal - “the last name of mystery”- is a sportsman from all over the world. Owing to its geographical position, Nepal experiences an unusual number of variations in climate and geological features, with a consequent abundance of different flora and fauna. It is, therefore the natural habitat of many species that can be hunted. The breath-taking Himalayas of Nepal offer some of the finest high mountain hunting in the world. Bharal or Blue sheep can be hunted in the high mountains, while Himalayan thar, barking deer and leopard in the mid-mountains. Spotted deer, barking deer, hog deer and wild boar can be hunted in the Terai or the lowlands from the backs of well trained elephants.
