The Kaghan Valley has become home to a remarkable new attraction after the unveiling of the world’s largest Markhor sculpture. Standing tall at 105 feet and stretching 38 feet wide, this giant artwork now shines proudly at the Shah Daoud Palace viewpoint in Bata Kundi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The sculpture celebrates Pakistan’s national animal and highlights the country’s natural beauty and wildlife heritage.
This impressive structure was created by Engineer Muhammad Shehzad, who spent five years turning this idea into reality. Made with strong steel and concrete, the statue was designed to survive the tough mountain weather and remain a lasting reminder of the Markhor’s importance. Visitors arriving in the valley can see the sculpture from a distance, making it an eye-catching landmark against the green hills and cold mountain air.
The Markhor has always been a symbol of strength, resilience, and Pakistan’s rich wildlife. In recent years, conservation efforts have helped increase its population, turning the animal into a story of success and hope. This sculpture aims to spread awareness and remind people about the need to protect wildlife. It also brings new energy to Kaghan Valley’s tourism, encouraging travelers to explore the region and learn more about its natural treasures.
With its massive size and stunning design, the statue is quickly becoming a must visit spot. Tourists, photographers, and nature lovers now have another reason to travel to this peaceful valley. The world’s biggest Markhor sculpture not only honors a national symbol but also brings pride to the country by showing what dedication, creativity, and love for nature can achieve.
