Hirpora (or Heerpora) is a village, near Shopian town in the Shopian district in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is the second largest village in the district, after Devepora.[citation needed] It is situated on the Mughal Road,[3] 12 km (7.5 mi) west of Shopian town, which is its district headquarters; and 64 km (40 mi) from Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, via the Srinagar-Pulwama Road. To the west of Hirpora is the Peer Ki Gali mountain pass over the Pir Panjal Range.
Most of Hirpora's area is occupied by thick forests. The Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary was established between 1987 and 1989.[4][5] The spiral-horned Markhor goat is a notable part of this wildlife.[6]
