Clothing for Mountain Trophy Hunting: Markhor, Ibex and Urial
Mountain trophy hunts for markhor, ibex and urial mean freezing mornings, hard climbs and long hours glassing from rocks. Dress in layers: a full sleeve camo base, a full-zip camo hoodie you can open on the climb, camo cargo trousers and a beanie.
Where and when
These hunts take place in the mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan under Pakistan's community-based trophy hunting programme, with permits issued by the government. Temperatures change fast with altitude, so layers you can add and remove are the key.
What to wear
| Layer | KOHVAN piece | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Full sleeve camo T-shirt | Wicks sweat on the climb |
| Mid layer | Full-zip camo hoodie | Warm while glassing, opens on the climb |
| Bottom | Camo cargo jogger trouser | Freedom to move on rocks |
| Head | Camo beanie | Keeps heat in at altitude |

Questions
Can anyone hunt markhor in Pakistan?
No. Markhor, ibex and urial can only be hunted through the government trophy hunting programme with an official permit, usually arranged through licensed outfitters and local community conservancies.
What camo works in the mountains?
Grey-brown rock and bark tones blend best with the cliffs and scree of the northern mountains. Avoid bright green patterns above the tree line.
How many layers do I need?
At least three: a sweat-wicking base, a warm mid layer like a hoodie and a windproof shell on top for high, windy ridges.
Hunt only in the legal season, with a valid licence, and respect protected species.
