Join us on our "Snow Leopard Quest," a 12-day exclusive photographic journey in the Himalayas of Ladakh, India. This adventure presents a rare opportunity to photograph the elusive snow leopard, one of the last great big cats. Utilizing the same seasoned trackers as BBC and other renowned nature production companies, our team has a wealth of experience, with over two decades of expertise in locating snow leopards.

The tour begins in New Delhi, before traveling to the historic city of Leh, where you'll acclimatize to the high altitude and experience local culture. As we venture into the mountains, the spectacular landscapes of Ladakh unfold, offering opportunities to capture great frames beyond the snow leopard. The region is also rich in other wildlife, including the bharal or blue sheep, Tibetan wolves, and a variety of birds. Plus, many cultural photography opportunities will be available during this trip.

Nestled in the Ladakh Range of India, our camp embodies the perfect fusion of remote luxury and rugged adventure. Encircled by ancient Tibetan monasteries and pastoral hamlets, it echoes the rich history of the Silk Road. This premier High Asia wilderness camp, perched at 12,000 feet in a vast expanse of prime snow leopard habitat, is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. With an elite team of specialists, we offer an unparalleled Himalayan adventure, marrying local cultural immersion with modern comforts to create a truly unique and unforgettable wildlife experience.

Our unique itinerary is carefully crafted to provide the best chances of snow leopard sightings. We're proud to say that our property is the only one within the snow leopard's geographic range that offers comfortable and diverse accommodations. From standard tented camps to luxurious suites for those seeking comfort in the wilderness, our accommodation options cater to all preferences. Guests can choose between shared or single supplement setups, ensuring a personalized and comfortable stay.

Each day, our dedicated trackers and spotters are out before dawn, meticulously searching for signs of snow leopards with the finest Swarovski optics, which are also available for guests. Upon a sighting, we'll be guided to the nearest observation point, either by vehicle or on foot, depending on the location. During sightings, we are well-catered for with a continuous supply of meals, coffee, tea, and snacks from the camp. Our team not only focuses on tracking but also enriches the experience by pointing out other interesting wildlife and birds, as well as sharing insights into the local culture and way of life.

This trip offers excellent wildlife and cultural photography, and so much more; it's an immersion into India's Himalayas. It's a chance to witness a mystical big cat, nature's raw beauty, and the lifestyle of the indigenous communities of the Himalayas. Our small group sizes ensure a personalized experience, where every participant gets individual attention from our professional team.

Our camp offers an exclusive and intimate wilderness experience, with just nine tents and suites designed for adventurous travelers in search of snow leopards.

You have two lodging options on this trip. Note, standard trip price is based on double occupancy. Single Supplement (your own private room for solo travelers) is possible, but the costs are high due to the lodging setup of our remote camp.

• Kurkhang Tents (+$4,000 for Single Supplement): These tents are the result of extensive research and testing, meticulously designed to provide ultimate warmth and comfort in the wilderness. In Ladakhi, "Kurkhang" translates to "tent home," a fitting description for these cozy bedroom retreats. Crafted from hand-stitched canvas and featuring custom insulation, central heating, and the option of one king-sized or two twin beds, these unique structures ensure a snug and inviting stay. As a guest in a Kurkhang, you'll have exclusive access to the 'Hammām'. This heated stone building boasts four private bathrooms, each equipped with a shower, toilet, and dressing space, ensuring your comfort during your stay.
  

• Predator Suites (+$3,500 per person, double occupancy required): These suites offer generous one-bedroom layouts, averaging around 300 sq ft. The interiors are meticulously designed, featuring wooden floors, traditional poplar and willow ceilings, and walls adorned with a combination of wood and mud-plastered stone. State-of-the-art Italian central heating systems keep you warm, and the bathrooms ensure a constant supply of hot water, even during the coldest winters. The Predator Suites are truly the epitome of accommodation for snow leopard expeditions worldwide.

Our elegant central dining and lounge space, nestled within the mountains, draws inspiration from the local caravansaries of the Great Silk Road. With a commanding view of the mountains and a traditional skylight, it serves as the heart of camp where meals are savored and stories are shared.

The menu, crafted by an acclaimed master chef, explores the classic cuisines of the Great Silk Road with Indian and Ladakhi influences.Our kitchen team brings a wealth of experience, from mountaineering expeditions to serving delectable meals at the world's premier snow leopard camp.

Mornings begin with espresso and tea, while evenings come alive with guests socializing over libations after a day of snow leopard tracking. The central area also houses a specialized library, maps, board games, and more, creating a space where unforgettable memories are made.


Join us on this incredible journey to capture one of nature's most elusive big cats!

Note: There are no guarantees when it comes to wildlife sightings - especially with an animal as elusive as the snow leopard. Though over the past five years, every guest that has spent at least six days tracking the cats has seen snow leopards.
