Regulations & Permits
Trophy hunting in Nepal dates back to many years when the Royals and their elite guests used to hunt animals for recreational purposes or as a hobby. Today, the government of Nepal has opened a way for stalkers all around the world to enjoy the world's greatest legal hunting adventure.
Getting a license for legal hunting in Nepal is difficult. Limited licenses are issued every year by the Department Of National Parks And Wildlife Conservation to a handful of travel agencies for their guests. It's more like a lucky draw to obtain the license for hunting in Nepal. On top of that, the very expensive rate of the license keeps the crowd far away and makes trophy hunting an exclusive privilege for the elite hunters.
Likewise, there are selected animals allowed by the government of Nepal for hunting. And one permit allows only one hunt. With us, you can also do Combo Hunting or opt for Blue Sheep hunting or Himalayan Tahr hunting as per your wish. Our
