The Markhor inhabits higher elevations of Gilgit-Baltistan, specifically in the Nagar District's Bar Valley conservation area during November to January when accessibility is best for a trekking expedition due to favorable weather conditions and increased sightings as part of community trophy hunting programs that encourage their population growth. These elusive wild goats can be spotted grazing among scrub forests, meadows elevated between 600-3,600 meters during early mornings or late afternoons when they are more active.
