Himalayan Expeditions: Snow Leopard & Birding Tours

A pair of Pallas's Cats, also known as manuls, peer from their rocky hideout in the cold desert of Ladakh. These expressive and rare small cats are a special sighting on our high-altitude wildlife tours.

A Eurasian Wolf with a dusting of snow on its fur makes direct eye contact in the Mongolian steppes. Our international expeditions often include encounters with other formidable predators that share the Snow Leopard's habitat.

A stunning Eurasian Lynx, with its characteristic tufted ears, prowls through deep snow. This is another rare predator we aim to spot during our winter wildlife expeditions in the remote mountains of Asia.

A majestic Himalayan Tahr, with its thick, shaggy coat, stands proudly in the mountains of Chopta. These sure-footed mountain goats are a common and impressive sight on our Himalayan treks.

A family of Nilgiri Tahr stands on a cliff edge against the dramatic backdrop of the Western Ghats. While not in the Himalayas, their high-altitude habitat is a key feature of our South India endemic tours.

A Snow Leopard perched majestically on a rock in Spiti Valley, surveying its vast, snow-covered territory. Our Spiti expeditions offer one of the best chances in the world to witness this incredible sight.

An Upland Buzzard, a formidable raptor of the high plateaus, prepares for flight from a rocky perch against a brilliant blue Ladakhi sky. Our birding tours in Ladakh focus on such specialized high-altitude species.

A Tibetan Partridge, perfectly adapted to its environment, scurries across a snow-covered slope in Chopta. Spotting these hardy birds is a highlight of our winter birding tours in the Himalayas.

The spectacular Himalayan Monal, with its jewel-toned feathers, stands out against the white snow in Chopta. We lead photography tours specifically aimed at capturing the beauty of such Himalayan bird species.
