Additional Information
Snow leopards are one of the world's most elusive mammals but in winter they
descend from the high Himalaya in search of food. Inhabiting some of the most
remote and mountainous regions of Central Asia, the mission to see this
enigmatic cat is really more of a pilgrimage. Other rare high altitude
wildlife and isolated Himalayan Buddhist communities only add to this quest's
allure. The itinerary varies slightly by departure date to fit in the
different festivals.
