The eight-day journey offers an opportunity to search for one of the planet’s most elusive big cats through the Himalayan landscapes of Ladakh, India. Clients stay in comfortable lodge-style accommodation with private bedrooms. Guests benefit from a network of expert local trackers and high-end Swarovski spotting scopes to maximise wildlife viewing opportunities.
Eric Findley, product manager for Asia & India at Adventure World, says the setting of Ladakh is a key part of this with spectacular mountain landscapes, high-altitude deserts and Buddhist monasteries perched on mountainsides. ‘The snow leopard is considered one of the world’s most sought after wildlife sightings and Ladakh is one of just a handful of locations globally where one in the wild becomes a real possibility,’ Findley says.
The itinerary balances natural exploration with cultural immersion. Travellers will stay in the high-altitude village of Uley and explore sacred Ladakhi heritage sites, including the Thikse Monastery.
The Snow Leopards of Ladakh itinerary starts from $6,605 per person. Departures operate daily between November to March and can be tailored to the individual traveller. adventureworld.com
