Wildlife Hunting Reserve |
Wildlife Hunting seems quite contradictory in this ecological awakening age. Nepal has been a favored ground for hunters since 9th century. Controlled hunting is allowed with proper license and certain seasons of the year. Hunting license is issued by the Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation in Kathmandu. There are only few hunting outfitters who will arrange this. Hunting in Nepal is permitted only in designated areas, and a licensed guide must accompany hunting parties.
Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve is one of the prime habitats of blue sheep, a highly prized trophy animal, which is the main target of hunters. Other game species are Ghoral, Serow, Himalayan Tahr, Black Bear Pheasant and Partridge. Endangered animals of this area include the Red Panda and Cheer Pheasant.
