Game Hunting

Nepal is also one of few places on earth where hunting is allowed legally.

Throughout the year, Nepal receives few hunters who come here for the game of hunting animals like deer. If you are into hunting, you can come to Nepal for hunting as license for hunting is often given on a first come first serve basis. The hunting activity is controlled by Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation and only limited number of animals is allowed to be killed.

Besides Blue Sheep, hunters are also allowed to hunt Ghoral, Himalayan thar, Serow black bear, partridge and Pheasant.
