For fans of mountain hunting, the Siberian Capricorn is one of the most honorable trophies and hunting for them is the most popular in Kazakhstan. The goat population living from the Pamirs to the Altai Mountains in southern Kazakhstan is considered one of the largest in the world. Animals can weigh up to 120 kg, with horns up to 150 cm in length. Transfer to the hunting grounds can be organized directly from the airport, or at the request of the client, a room can be booked in hotels in Almaty or Chimkent. Base camps in the hunting grounds are comfortable hunting lodges, from where hunters on horses or off-road vehicles make radial hunting trips. The duration and conditions of goat hunting are not the same in different regions. In some areas it is possible to return to the base camp every night, in some areas a hunting expedition, during which you have to spend the night in tent fly-camps, can take a week. European and national cuisine is offered. After taking the main trophy, the hunter can hunt roe deer, wolf, eland, puffins, fish in a mountain river or book a sightseeing tour of the National Parks.
