About Us - Markhor Safari

Who are we

Markhor Safari is a trophy hunting travel company led by Mr. Karim Dad, a native of Hunza in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region and now based in Las Vegas, Nevada. We design guided hunting trips that combine local knowledge, careful planning, and dependable on-the-ground support—so clients can focus on the experience in the mountains.
