BUJARA IBEX
Tajikistan is the smallest of the Central Asian republics, an exotic destination with a breathtaking landscape for our adventures. Surrounded by Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and China, the smallest of the former Soviet republics in Central Asia. Isolated for centuries and hardly visited by tourists. Tajikistan preserves one of the most mountainous and surprising landscapes in the world, through which the mythical Silk Road used to pass.
With the confluence of East Asia and the Middle East and, therefore, a melting pot of cultures as are other countries in the region, the smallest and most unknown of the republics in the area mixes elements of its neighboring countries.
…where you will find the most remote and beautiful landscapes of Central Asia…
Hunting in Tajikistan, you will have the opportunity to stalk, wait and beat enormous wild boars and to stalk in high mountains the best specimens of Marco Polo Argali, Ibex Pamir, and Ibex from Middle Asia and Markhor and Ibex from Bujara.
Wild boar hunts can be organized with groups of between 3 and 6 hunters. The hunting date is from mid-November to March 30. You can also hunt by stalking and waiting for this we recommend the months of June and July. We stay in comfortable camps with all the amenities located about 200 km from Dushanbe and at an altitude of between 1,400 and 2,500 meters.
Hunting in Tajikistan the Marco Polo
For hunting in Tajikistan the Marco Polo Argali and Ibex Pamir, our journey begins in Dushanbe and, if the weather conditions allow it, a domestic flight to Khorog could bring us closer to our destination, the Pamir mountains in the northeast of the country, near the border with China. This hunt takes place at an altitude of between 3,500 and 4,500 meters.

In the last 20 years, the success rate of this hunt has been 100%, with an average of trophies ranging between 54 and 58 inches and several trophies per season between 60-62 inches.
An unforgettable Asian adventure to remember!
Mid Asian Ibex
The Mid Asian Ibex can be found at lower hills and just four hours from Dushanbe. It can be perfectly combined with hunting the Marco Polo and Ibex Pamir. Normally, our clients stop around the Pamir Mountains to finish their program with this beautiful trophy.
South of Tajikistan, in the Khatlon and Gorno-Badakhshan provinces, we find the majestic Markhor of Bukhara. Thanks to conservation programs, the population of Markhor has increased considerably in recent years. Although, it is still preyed upon by the snow leopard, which we will hopefully have a chance to find on our expedition.
If you are interested in combining several species, please contact us, and we will inform you of the best options and dates to do so.
