markhoor

The markhoor was just below us, round a turn in the Indus Valley.

I had been shifting, trying to get on markhoor ground, and on this day I killed my first markhoor.

Five days later I got two ibex, which at a distance we had mistaken for markhoor.

As soon as I got well, I started off for the real mountains, hoping especially to get ibex and markhoor.

The markhoor is a magnificent goat, with long whitish hair and great spiral horns.
