Trek the Himalaya

This is my second time to Ladakh for snow leopard spotting and both times have been incredible.

The landscape, people and wildlife are incredible and matched by the dedication of Valerie and her team to ensure you enjoy your time here and have the best wildlife spotting opportunities.

It can get cold and you should pay careful attention to the trip notes, bring plenty of layers and be prepared to trek and work for your sightings, but those sightings are the stuff of magic.

The homestay and festival visit are a great extra to the wildlife too, giving you an insight into local life and culture.

Lastly the food provided by the local team is excellent and plentiful, with Johnny the chef’s culinary delights being worth the trip evenif you didn’t have the wildlife.

An excellent trip led by an excellent and extremely knowledgeable leader. In country guides and staff were all excellent. Some good challenging trekking at altitude making this a great trip if you wish to extend your achievements at altitude.

An amazing time spent in Ladakh amongst stunning scenery and the local people. We were incredibly lucky to see 6 snow leopards in total thanks to the incredible skills of the spotters. The time spent in Delhi and Leh made an interesting contrast to the mountain wilderness.
