The goral, Naemorhedus goral (Hardwick) (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) has great importance as natural food resource, source for earning, recreation and materials for research. The vantage points of N. goral were determined during May-July 2010 in the Pattan and Keyal Valleys, Kohistan, Pakistan. In Pattan Valley, 90 questionnaires were distributed in 8 different sites, i.e., Tankor Janchil, Rasta Dong Janchil, Barho Kandogay, Landai Sar Bohil, Hawery Kamar Bohil, Barho Bohil, Barho Gulkand and Nabaz. In Keyal, 75 questionnaires were distributed in 6 different sites, i.e., Baroon Nala Fagaiel, Galto Fagaiel, Shaig Bhapobanda, Keero Keyal, Balkhun and Rodair. In Pattan, the lowest vantage point was Tankor Janchil while the highest point was Landi Sar Bohil. In Keyal, the lowest vantage point was Baroon Nala Fagaiel while the highest was Shaig Bhapobanda. More vantage points of Pattan were lower in height than Keyal. In Pattan, 21 N. goral (13 adults, 6 sub-adult and 2 fawns) were found, while in Keyal valley, total 40 N. goral (22 adults, 14 sub-adult and 4 fawns) were found. Due to lack of education, the most of hunters do not know about importance of N. goral and wildlife. Education to aware the people by WDP is still needed.
