Discover Wakhan Wildlife

At Wakhan Wildlife, we believe in creating unforgettable journeys that honor both nature and culture. Born from a deep respect for the majestic landscapes of the Wakhan Corridor, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the greater Karakoram-Pamir-Hindu Kush region, our philosophy is rooted in sustainability, community, and raw, untamed adventure.

We are more than just a tour company — we are passionate conservationists, licensed professionals, and cultural ambassadors. Whether you're tracking the elusive snow leopard, embarking on a high-altitude trek, or pursuing a government-authorized ibex hunting expedition, we ensure your experience is ethical, immersive, and life-changing.

🦓 Wildlife Conservation:
Every tour supports local conservation efforts. We operate in harmony with the environment and promote responsible wildlife viewing and licensed, quota-based trophy hunting that funds community protection of endangered species.

🥾 True Adventure:
From glacier-fed trails to remote summits, we guide technical mountaineering expeditions, alpine treks, and wilderness safaris designed for every level of explorer – all led by experienced high-altitude guides.

🛖 Cultural Immersion:
Our roots are local. We work closely with Wakhi, Kyrgyz, and Hunza communities, integrating authentic cultural experiences into our itineraries and ensuring tourism benefits the people who call these regions home.

🌱 Sustainability-Driven:
We follow Leave No Trace principles, use local resources responsibly, and are committed to eco-tourism standards that preserve these fragile highland ecosystems for generations to come.

With over 15 years of experience in organizing international wildlife tours, trophy hunts, trekking, and climbing expeditions, Wakhan Wildlife has become a trusted name for travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path exploration with a conscience.

Join us — and walk the paths of ancient caravans, stand under the shadow of 7,000-meter peaks, and witness wildlife where few ever tread.

At Wakhan Wildlife, we specialize in delivering authentic, expertly curated adventures across some of the world’s most remote and awe-inspiring mountain regions. With a proven track record and deep regional knowledge, our team combines logistical precision, cultural sensitivity, and field expertise to offer truly transformative travel experiences.

We are pioneers in rare and remote wildlife tracking in Gilgit-Baltistan, the Wakhan Corridor, and high Pamir valleys. Our snow leopard expeditions are recognized for their success rates, ethical standards, and support of local conservation projects. We also offer custom safaris focused on ibex, Marco Polo sheep, Himalayan wolves, and rare bird species.

As one of the few operators legally licensed for ibex trophy hunting in Gilgit-Baltistan, we offer a secure, transparent, and ethical experience. We follow all conservation quotas set by the GB Wildlife Department and ensure the proceeds benefit local communities through wildlife conservation funds.

From technical climbs on unclimbed peaks to 7000m+ expeditions, our mountaineering programs are led by certified high-altitude guides, trained in glacier rescue, rope systems, and mountain medicine. We handle all permits, equipment logistics, and safety planning—so you can focus on the summit.

Our treks range from soft adventure to rugged alpine challenges across Shimshal, Broghil, Ishkoman, Chapursan, and Wakhan. Whether you're crossing high passes or exploring ancient shepherd trails, we ensure your journey is immersive, well-supported, and deeply rewarding.

We excel at organizing complex, cross-border journeys into Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor, blending high-altitude trekking with cultural immersion and wildlife observation. Our logistical network spans both sides of the border, giving us unmatched operational capabilities in the region.
