Besides wildlife reserves Nepal
Government has also set aside a hunting reserve at Dhorpatan where controlled
hunting of some species is allowed. Covering an area of 1,325 sq. km., the
reserve is situated on the southern flanks of Mt. Dhaulangiri I in districts of
Rukum, Baglung & Myagdi in western Nepal. The area's vegetation is
characterized by well-developed mixed-hardwood forest at lower elevation &
many plant species of drier climate to North.
Tree species include fir, pine,
birch, rhododendron, hemlock, oak, juniper and spruce. As in many other
protected environments of Nepal, the reserve includes several villages
inhabited by hill tribes as well as people of Tibetan descent who supplement
farming with trade and animal husbandry. The reserve is one of the prime
habitats of blue sheep, a highly prized trophy animal, which is the main target
of hunters. Other game species are ghoral, serow, Himalayan tahr, black bear,
pheasant and partridge. Endangered species of the area include the red panda
and cheer pheasant. Controlled hunting is allowed with proper license and
certain seasons of the year. Game license is issued by the Department of
National Parks and Wildlife Conservation in Kathmandu. Dhorpatan is also an
attractive destination for the trekkers and wildlife enthusiasts as protection
has enabled animal numbers to increase in this rarely visited.
