Hunting in Nepal is a real challenge because you will be hunting in the highest mountains in the world. Modern hunting of blue sheep and Himalayan tare is perhaps one of the largest mountain hunts in the world. You can hunt in autumn or spring. It is clear that the Himalayas are high and very steep, so this is an extreme hunt that requires excellent physical training. After the helicopter drops you off at 10,000 feet. Where Experienced Sherpas carry most of their gear, you'll have to hike up to the tented camp for several more hours. Hunting in Nepal takes place at extreme altitude in very difficult terrain and good physical condition is a must. Average shooting distances can be very long, so the minimum recommended caliber should be 300 magnum, and hunters should be well trained and accurate at 500 yards or more. Hunters planning a trip to Nepal should be informed of the potentially fatal risks of hunting at high altitude, and it is important to discuss preparations with a doctor in advance. Most hunters take Diamox by prescription to prevent pulmonary edema. It can be very cold and windy in the mountains. Consult your outfitter for a list of recommended gear for harsh conditions.
