| On the prowl |
In the cold winter months of Ladakh, we provide you the unique & rare experience of finding the elusive and endangered Snow Leopard. With its team of best Snow Leopard naturalist we will take you into one of the best Snow Leopard habitats in the Hemis high altitude National Park.
Some of the birds that you may come across while on the trek are Golden Eagle, Lammergeyer, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Himalayan Griffon and Himalayan Snow cock, Tibetan Partridge, Chukar Partridge, White Winged Redstart, Robin Accentor, Snow Pigeons, Hill Pigeons, Fire- Fronted Serin, Blue Whistling-thrush, Snowfinches, White Breasted Dipper, Brown Dipper, Wallcreeper and the Upland Buzzard.
While on the trek you will also have the opportunity to stay in Home Stays and in tents in the prime habitat. Our home stays act as eco tourism initiatives that encourage the locals to help preserve the Snow Leopard and not make it their prey.
