Best Snow Leopard Tour in Ladakh
The Snow leopard, found only in the high mountain regions of Central Asia, is one of the world’s most secretive and critically endangered big cat species. You’ve come to the right place if you’re seeking for the best snow leopard trip in India. India is home to several excellent snow leopard habitats. Snow leopards may be found in abundance in India’s stunning landscapes. Located in the far north of India, Hemis National Park in Ladakh offers the greatest snow leopard tour in the country and is home to a large population of the elusive snow leopard. The other, more affordable Snow Leopard Tour is conducted in the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary in Spiti Valley, where you can stay in a more authentic local homestay and track the Snow Leopard.
