Trip Introduction

The Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve is Nepal's sole hunting reserve that allows licensed hunting. It was founded in 1987 and encompasses a total area of 1,325 km in the Rukum, Myagdi, and Baglung Districts in western Nepal's Dhaulagiri Himal. With several animal reserves, national parks, and the beautiful highest Himalayan range, it contributes tremendous beauty to the world. Its altitude ranges from 2,850 to 5,500 m (9,350 to 18,000 ft). Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve is the most gorgeous group of hunting reserves in Nepal, and it alone is enough to make the world aware of Nepal's beauty. To the north, the area is characterized by a well-developed mixed-hardwood forest with a drier climate. With a good morning, we can see the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, fishtail, and Manaslu ranges.
