The nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus), sometimes called nilgau, is an antelope, and is one of the most commonly seen wild animals of central and northern India and eastern Pakistan; it is also present in parts of southern Nepal. The mature males appear ox-like and are also known as blue bulls. The nilgai is the biggest Asian antelope.
Nilgai antelopes are found in the north Indian plains from the base of the Himalayas in the north, down to the state of Karnataka in the South, and from the Gir forest and from all along the entire eastern length of Pakistan and over across the border of Rajasthan in the West to the states of Assam and West Bengal in the East; in Nepal, they occur patchily in the southern lowlands. The population density in central India is 0.07 animals per square kilometer. Historic notes mention the nilgai in southern parts of India but there have also been suggestion that they may be a feral population.

Ibex hunt was a great experience. Markhor Safaris do an amazing job of preparing you for the hunt and minimizing problems during and after the hunt
I can see they have developed a solid relationship with the correct guys to secure all the necessary permits and proper guides. I have taken two ibex with them. I really enjoyed it
Markhor Safaris provided a once-in-a-lifetime hunting experience in Pakistan. They bridged the paperwork, travel, cultural and governmental barriers to make the trip possible. Their local guides were warm, knowledgeable and relentless hunters who knew how to get a trophy.
