Nepal Hunting Reserve in 2024 and 2025

Overview of Nepal Hunting Reserve

Nepal Hunting Reserve has only one hunting reserve area in Nepal. It is called Dhorpatan and lies in the three districts of Nepal. March, April, May, September, October, and November are the best hunting seasons of 2024 and 2025. Similarly, Dhorpatan is the only hunting area allowed in Nepal, even though we have found many different regions of Nepal.

The Dhaulagiri Himalayan range was established in 1987. A. D is extended over an area of 1325 sq km. Most of the parts lie at higher elevations, where pasture lands are.

Many people come from different countries worldwide to hunt reserves, fulfilling their hunting egos by paying royalties to Nepal.

The hunting license is provided to you by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation to hunt only one animal in Nepal, including the blue sheep and Himalayan Thar. However, contact us on WhatsApp at +977 9851033819 or by email.

The forests of Nepal’s hunting reserve area are alpine, sub-alpine, and high-temperature. They include rhododendron, birch, pine, fir, hemlock, oak, and juniper. Other wild animals in this region are leopards, Himalayan black bears, wild boars, and langurs.

Mountain pigeons and Cheer pheasant are found in this region. Value, Barse, Seng, Dogadi, Sundahl, and Mustang are the hunting blocks in the Dhorpatan hunting tour package. Although we have other wildlife reserves and national parks, we cannot hunt animals.

Tented Camp in Nepal Hunting Reserve

We have all the tented camp equipment for the Hunting Reserve; we must arrange tents, cooking gear, food, and everything else. Nepal Hunting Reserve starts from Kathmandu, with all porters and food, by Jeep or plane.

Let us know more information about hunting trips in Nepal. The Boundless Adventure company operates hunting tours in Nepal during the best seasons, and we also offer many other historical tours in Nepal.

The Best Hunting Rifle in Nepal.

Boundless Adventure provides you with hunting guns while you don’t have them. But We should get those guns from the Nepal government. Similarly, it would help if you let us know what types of hunting guns you use for hunting and your experience.

Which is  The Best Hunting Rifle of 2024? We suggest the 1895 SBL rifle for long distances and the New Cascade Short Barrel Rifle for short distances.

Hunting animals in Nepal

Nepal is a small country in the world. Similarly, the Nepal government announced that it would hunt in the Dhorpatan area. There are many wild animals, but you only got the permits for HIMALAYAN THAR.

How do you get to the Dhorpatan hunting reserve?

Boundless Adventure is an experienced hunting company in Nepal. Please feel free to contact us, and we’ll let you know about the cost of a hunting gun, permits, a tented camp, a guide, and Porters.

Different activities in Nepal

Different people have different experiences and knowledge. Some like adventure activities in the high Himalayas and touring the lowlands.

Suggestions for Hunting

  1. Your trip can be longer than you thought due to any region. You are heading to hunt wild animals. Sometimes, we have to go to higher elevations to settle the camp and get hunting animals.
  2. Beautiful but dangerous with wild animals. Of course, you can see Himalayan Thar( Blue sheep), which used to live up in the mountains. But Snowleopard also lives in high mountains. Your guide is thoroughly knowledgeable about the trip. Please follow the guide.

Most Asked Questions by Travellers

There is only one hunting reserve in Nepal, the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve. Google’s location is 22,000 in the western part of Nepal, within the national park of Dhorpatan. With an area of 1,325 km2, the hunting reserve spans three districts: Baglung, Rukum, and Myagdi, within the boundaries of Gandaki Province and Karnali Province. Similarly, Putha, Churen, and Gurja Himal are at the northern boundary of the hunting reserve. Established in 1987, the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve’s elevation ranges from 2,850 to 5,500 m above sea level.

The cost of hunting in Nepal’s Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the Gun, the animal you are hunting, and the equipment you use. Boundless Adventure can provide you with a hunting gun, but let us know what type you want. For details on costs and other queries, contact us via WhatsApp at +977 9851033819.

Hunting is only possible during the Spring season in Nepal’s Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve. Thus, hunters must hunt during the Spring. The pleasant weather during spring (March to May) makes hunting a favorable time. The wildlife is also more active during Spring, increasing the chances of a successful hunting experience. Moreover, the lush, green, blooming flowers in the hunting reserve make hunting enjoyable.

Boundless Adventure provides a 6-day itinerary of the Nepal Hunting Reserve. The itinerary involves the first and sixth days of your arrival and departure; the remaining four days are a remarkable experience in Nepal. The second day is for sightseeing in Kathmandu Valley, and on the third day, the thrill of hunting begins as you drive to Dhorpatan National Park. Day four is the exploration of a jungle and hunting program. On the fifth day, you will go birdwatching and return to Kathmandu. However, we provide the facility of itinerary customization.

Yes, several permits are mandatory for hunting in Nepal. The required permits for hunting in Nepal include:

  • The Dhorpatan National Park Permit.
  • A permit for guns.
  • A permit for a bullet and a permit for the animal you will hunt.
  • Obtaining those permits can be tricky, so Boundless Adventure can arrange all the permits on our client’s behalf.

Nepal’s hunting reserve is not crowded. However, during the hunting season, several hunters will be present. Yet, the policy of providing a limited number of permits ensures that the reserve remains quiet and less crowded.

Nepal Hunting Reserve, Dhorpatan, is unique because it is the only hunting reserve in Nepal. Likewise, the hunting reserve is unique because it is home to diverse wildlife, including blue sheep, leopard, serow, goral, Himalayan black bear, Himalayan tahr, barking deer, wild boar, mouse hare, red panda, and langur. Also, its vegetation and home of 137 bird species make it unique.

No, hunting is not permitted year-round in Nepal. The authority has implemented the policy to provide only Spring to hunt in the hunting area of Dhorpatan. So, hunters desiring to hunt in Nepal must hunt during the Spring; besides Spring, hunting in Nepal is not allowed.

The hunting of animals in Nepal’s hunting reserves is limited. Hunters must clarify how many animals they want to hunt during the booking process and before taking a permit. According to the permit hunters have taken to hunt animals, they can hunt accordingly. However, there is a strict regulation that hunters can hunt only Thar.

Hunters should bring Binoculars, a skinning knife, a hunting Gun, and a bullet. However, a special permit for guns and bullets is mandatory for hunting in Nepal. Worry not; as per your preferred type of Gun, Boundless Adventure can provide you with the necessary permits.

Hunting equipment, including a backpack, headlamp, spotting scope, Tripod, and personal items and clothing, are necessary. Also, hunters should stay in a camp and bring camping equipment as there is no hotel accessibility in the Dhorpatan National Park. However, Boundless Adventure provides camping equipment, a tent, cooking equipment, and a cook.

Yes, a nature guide is mandatory for the hunting reserve in Nepal to ensure the hunter’s safety. However, Boundless Adventure provides a certified and licensed guide who is well-familiar with the hunting reserve’s geography, wildlife habits, and local regulations. Our nature guide can also handle any emergencies that may arise during the hunt.

Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve
Matthew Rodriguez

Unparalleled Wildlife Encounters

Our group booked to hunt in Dhorpatan of Nepal with Boundless Adventure. We had an unbelievable experience hunting, which was our first-ever experience. Upon reaching Dhorpatan National Park, we felt refreshed by the area’s peace. We have our experienced guide by our side. The next day, we explored the jungle with our hunting gun. We carefully observed the animals, waited for the right moment to hunt, and successfully hunted a Himalayan Thar. Sitting by the campfire, we celebrated our hunting success at night. It was a praiseworthy experience that was totally worthwhile. We can’t wait for our next hunting in Nepal. Heartily thanks to Boundless Adventure for providing a remarkable hunting experience.
