After an early breakfast, the real adventure begins! Your journey to Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve starts with a scenic drive through the Prithvi Highway to Pokhara, offering beautiful views of rivers, terraced fields, and the countryside.

From Pokhara, you’ll continue through Baglung and Burtibang, traveling along mountain roads that gradually ascend into the remote highlands. The final stretch leads you to Dhorpatan National Park, Nepal’s only legal hunting reserve.

Upon arrival, our support crew will set up a tented base camp in a scenic location surrounded by alpine meadows and forests. You’ll enjoy a warm dinner under the stars as the team prepares for your hunting expedition.

This is the most thrilling day of your trip — the hunting day! After an early breakfast at camp, you’ll set out with your professional hunting guide and local trackers. The terrain varies from lush valleys to rocky ridges, so be prepared for an adventurous and rewarding day.

Depending on your government-issued permit, you can hunt either Himalayan Thar or Blue Sheep. Your guide will lead you safely through the hunting zones while ensuring adherence to conservation and ethical guidelines.

After the hunt, return to the camp to celebrate your achievement with your team. Enjoy a campfire, share stories, and relish a delicious meal prepared by our cook.

After breakfast, pack up your gear and begin the drive back to Kathmandu. Retrace your route through Burtibang, Baglung, and Pokhara, enjoying the changing landscapes along the way.
