Snow Leopard Trek
Snow Leopard Trek
The Snow Leopard Trek is our prime trekking package. It offers trekkers a unique opportunity to learn about the snow leopard and its habitat, and about how it interacts with local people, while trekking through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. While no guarantee can be made that an actual sighting of the snow leopard will be made, given its remarkably elusive nature, all efforts will be made to give trekkers the best possible chance to actually see one of these great creatures in the wild. It is highly recommended that all those who intend to go on this trek should read The Snow Leopard by Peter Mathiesson.
