Hunting Marco Polo Sheep and Mid-Asian Ibex

An unforgettable hunting adventure in the midst of pristine nature awaits you in the At-Bashy mountains, located in the stunning alpine landscape of the southern part of the inner Tian Shan range, in the At-Bashy district of the Naryn region.

 

Stretching 140 km in length and 30 km in width, this mountain range boasts majestic peaks exceeding 4,500 meters in altitude, with the highest peak reaching 4,786 meters. These conditions create the perfect setting for a demanding and intense hunt, as the central ridge lies above the snow line. Accompanied by a local guide and technical support team, you will embark on an adventure on horseback, with most expeditions lasting several days. During the hunt, you will stay in a base camp, tents, or simple shelters, making a high-quality sleeping bag an essential part of your gear.

When a promising trophy appears before you, a long and strenuous trek or horseback ride through challenging terrain often awaits. You must be prepared to shoot at distances of several hundred meters—success is never guaranteed. However, hunters' efforts are often rewarded with trophies over 115 cm in length, with some specimens exceeding 130 cm.

The nature and scenery of this region are unique and indescribable in words—you simply have to experience it for yourself. Join us and embark on an unforgettable hunt in the wilderness!

Accommodation and Meals

During the hunt, depending on the area and season, you will be accommodated in mobile homes or wooden cabins. While hunting, you will often stay in very basic mountain tents or even natural rock caves. Therefore, it is essential to bring a high-quality sleeping bag and mat.

Before and after the hunt, you will stay in a high-quality hotel in Bishkek. Full board is included in the hunting package, with organizers striving to provide nutritious and tasty meals. However, given the remote conditions, obtaining a wide variety of supplies can be challenging. For this reason, we recommend bringing your favorite snacks (e.g., chocolate, energy bars for an extra boost, instant meals, etc.).

 

Why Choose the “PREMIUM Area” or “VIP All-Inclusive” Package?

This package includes all known and fixed costs. We could advertise a lower price by a few hundred euros and exclude additional fees, but in the end, you would have to cover these expenses yourself—and that is not our approach.

The hunting area is known for its high density of ibex, with an average trophy size of 112–130 cm, significantly larger than in other areas, and a 100% success rate. One of the great advantages of this package is that after the hunt, you can relax and explore the local culture in the capital city.

During these days, we will also handle all the necessary administrative procedures, allowing you to take your ibex trophy home immediately for an excess baggage fee (if applicable). This will save you hundreds of euros and time otherwise spent on additional export/import processes.

Don't be tempted by seemingly cheaper offers—always check the final cost of your hunting trip!
