Snow Leopard Tour Ladakh

OVERVIEW

SNOW LEOPARD TOUR LADAKH

A snow leopard tour in Ladakh offers a rare chance to see the “ghost of the mountains” in its natural Himalayan habitat. Based mainly in Hemis National Park, these expeditions run from November to April when leopards descend to lower altitudes. Guided by skilled local trackers, you’ll trek through rugged valleys, scan ridgelines with high‑powered scopes, and spot other wildlife like blue sheep and golden eagles. Tours often begin in Leh for acclimatization and cultural exploration of monasteries and markets. Options range from heated camps to village homestays, blending adventure, conservation awareness, and Ladakh’s stark, awe‑inspiring landscapes into one unforgettable journey.
