Lying on the Tibetan Plateau, Ladakh's wildlife is a unique experience. The jewel in this crown is the rare and elusive Snow Leopard. One of the most mysterious animals in the world, this cat is a holy grail for wildlife and photographers. This tour not only gives you the best possible views of the Snow Leopard, as well as the other birds and animals that share its rugged mountain home but also give you the opportunity to learn more about the culture and history of Ladakh.

The land of Ladakh is known for its rich culture, history, and amazing cuisine. However, Ladakh is also a fantastic destination for birdwatchers. With the high-altitude specialists of the Tibetan Plateau, like Chukar Partridge, Upland Buzzard, Tibetan Snowcock, Tibetan Sandgrouse, and more, birdwatching here is an experience almost unlike anywhere else in the subcontinent.

Ladakh's stark and rugged landscape may look lifeless, and few may think this is a great birding destination, but this is far from reality! Ladakh's position and elevation on the Tibetan Plateau make it a great place to look for high-altitude specialists, including Tibetan Sandgrouse, Tibetan Snowcock, Horned Lark, Chukar Partridge, and many more.
