Traverse the awe-inspiring Himalaya region of Ladakh in search of the elusive snow leopard and other iconic wildlife.
The Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh is one of the last frontiers for wildlife tourism. The isolated barren wilderness of Ladakh with its snow-capped Himalaya mountains, bright blue water lakes and ever-changing sand dunes remind you that you are at the ‘Roof of the World’. A winter trip meets the elements head-on in a breathtaking yet, at times, bleak landscape in the high-altitude cold desert Ladakh region. But within these high valleys created by folds of the great Himalaya is perhaps the highest density of the most elusive of the great cats – the snow leopard. Its very name evokes all that is most wild and mysterious in nature – for this is an animal that comes cloaked not only in the subtle beauty of its coat but also in all the high drama of the harsh and magnificent environment that it dominates.
Guided by one of the most seasoned snow leopard guides in the industry, you will not only gain invaluable insights into the region’s breathtaking wildlife but also receive profound understanding of the area’s cultural heritage and its people during this 10-night adventure.
Visit the Snow Leopard Conservancy and learn about the efforts made by the local authorities, and community, to conserve this endangered species. Set out as a group of maximum 8 explorers in search of the elusive snow leopard, and explore the surroundings valleys, which are also home to other unique wildlife including wolf, lynx, ibex, bharal (blue sheep), shapo, argali and Tibetan hare. An attractive contrast also lies between the rugged, stone-hard mountain people of the area and the gentle and compassionate Buddhism that they practice. During your journey, you will have ample time to explore some of the region’s magnificent monasteries and picturesque villages. You’ll also have the opportunity to engage with the small Tibetan farming communities and witness their daily lives, as they inhabit isolated villages nestled along the valley floors.
*A USD 1,500 group donation will be going to the Snow Leopard Conservancy in Leh, an initiative that fights for the survival of the species.
