Markhor (Trophy) HUNTING IN Gilgit Baltistan

Markhore’s hunting fee is $67,500 for international hunters in G-B where hunting season lasts till June.
This year the G-B government auctioned hunting permits for four markhors, 60 ibexes and eight blue sheep. Besides markhors, hunting fee for Himalayan blue sheep and ibexes have been fixed as $8,800 and $3,000, respectively.
The trophy hunting programme was first launched in Bar area of Nagar valley as an effort to discourage illegal hunting of endangered wildlife.

The official said hunting is carried out under the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wildlife, and is allowed only in notified areas of G-B in collaboration with the relevant communities.

“Threatened species in G-B, markhors in particular are hunted by foreigners in return for thousands of dollars,” said the official.

With each hunt, the G-B government provides 80 per cent share to the respective local communities while the rest goes to government accounts.
