Description
Among the rugged mountain landscapes of Ladakh, lives possibly the most elusive of the big cats: the Snow Leopard. This tour has been specially designed and tweaked over 15 years by Asian Adventures, pioneers of this expedition, to give you the optimum chance of spotting one of these beautiful creatures. While most only get to see pugmarks of this almost-mythical animal, our trained guides and local trackers almost always ensure a glimpse of this magnificent predator in its natural habitat, as well as give you an opportunity to enjoy the other unique wildlife that this high-altitude habitat has to offer. The locals of the area are our support system and one gets enthralling insights into local folklore, as well as learn about their customs and traditions.
