Incredible Encounters With One of the World’s Rarest Cats
In a land of whitewashed monasteries, colorful prayer flags and austere snowfields waits an indescribable wilderness quest to find the elegant, rosette-spotted, silver snow leopard of the Indian Himalaya. Today, you’ll go behind the lens with Nat Hab Expedition Leader Surya Ramachandran as he shares incredible experiences observing wild snow leopards, which are often referred to as the “ghosts of the mountains.” For six years, Surya and a team of expert trackers have shared unforgettable moments on the ridges and slopes of the world’s most rugged alpine territory. As he reveals these stories to you through narrative and photography, you may find yourself inspired to journey to India yourself. Our Indian Himalaya trip offers the best in snow leopard tourism, both in its conservation footprint and as an incomparable travel experience. Join us in the heights of Ladakh, a former Silk Road kingdom in northern India with a vibrant Tibetan Buddhist culture, as we search for the solitary and elusive snow leopard. We may even spot one standing on a high ridge, right from our private expedition lodge overlooking the Mangyu Valley!
