The Ghost of the Mountains: Luxury Snow Leopard Expedition

The journey

A breathtaking 6-day winter expedition to the roof of the world. Track the enigmatic snow leopard across the striking mountain valleys of Hemis National Park using elite trackers, while enjoying centrally heated luxury cabins and custom mountain logistics.

Venture into the stark, mineral wilderness of the high-altitude Trans-Himalayas for the ultimate bucket-list wildlife encounter. Bypassing the extreme hardships of traditional mountain camping, this pioneering itinerary brings high-end luxury to sub-zero tracking. Spend your first two days resting and gently exploring ancient monasteries in Leh to perfectly acclimatize to the 11,500-foot elevation. Then, journey deep into the steep-walled stone gorges of Hemis National Park. Supported by a master team of local Ladakhi spotters and armed with high-magnification Swarovski optics, you will systematically scan the ridgelines for the perfectly camouflaged Snow Leopard before retiring to a heated, custom-insulated predator suite complete with premium hot food and wine.
