Wildlife Tours from the Karakoram to the Arabian Sea
Pakistan's landscapes range from the high Karakoram to deserts, river plains and the Arabian Sea, and each has its own wildlife. In the mountains live the snow leopard, markhor, ibex and Himalayan brown bear; the Indus is home to its own blind dolphin; and every winter millions of birds arrive along the Indus Flyway.
Our wildlife tours are led by local guides, trackers and park staff who know where and when to look. We follow responsible viewing practices, support community conservation, and plan each trip for the best season. Sightings of wild animals can never be guaranteed, but we give you the best possible chance.

How to Choose and Prepare for Wildlife Tours in Pakistan
Choosing by season
Winter (December to March) is best for snow leopards and markhor, which come down to lower slopes, and for migratory birds on the wetlands. Summer (June to October) is best for Deosai and Khunjerab. The Indus dolphins and Bahawalpur are best in the cool months, and sea turtles nest from September to December.
Gear and photography
Bring good binoculars and, for photographers, a long lens. We carry a spotting scope for the group. In winter, warm layers and good boots are essential in the mountains.
Responsible wildlife watching
We never bait, call or chase animals, we keep a respectful distance and we follow all park rules. Part of the cost of our mountain wildlife tours supports local community conservation.
Permits, visas and insurance
Park entry and any permits are arranged by our team. We provide a Letter of Invitation for your visa; see our Pakistan visa guide. Travel insurance is essential; read our travel insurance policy.
