The Snow Leopard Expedition in India is one of the most extraordinary experiences for both hikers and wildlife aficionados out there. It lacks the lush flora seen in wetlands, the abundance of a tropical rainforest, and the diversity of a grassland. Instead, it is a picture of desolate valleys, frozen streams, and unending panoramas dotted with silhouettes of mountains.
Some of India's most exotic high-altitude animals can be found in the Spiti valley, a cold desert mountain valley tucked away in northeast Himachal's high-altitude belts. Due to the prevalence of ibex and blue sheep as well as the snow-capped mountains and difficult terrains, Spiti is home to one of India's most recognizable cats, the snow leopard.
During the harsh winter months of December to March, these secretive cats descend to lower elevations in search of prey, making Spiti a snow leopard hotspot for photographers and wildlife lovers.
The Himalayan range is one of the most challenging locations for wildlife photography and is the perfect home to ferocious snowcats. The area is abundant with wildlife, including the snow leopard, red fox, Tibetan wolves, lammergeier, golden eagle, Himalayan snow cocks, and chukars, as well as some spectacular landscapes that are ideal for photography at both dusk and dawn. Every time you say goodbye to the mountain gods, Spiti's culture and people touch your spirit and the mountains ring with the meditative Buddhist chanting coming from the majestic monasteries in Key and Kibber town.
However, finding a Snow Leopard can be challenging. It all begins with a footprint. Based on the angle, depth, and elevation, the guide can ascertain the age and direction of a snow leopard. When a footprint is found, the surrounding is examined for pugmarks. The snow leopard likes to leave messages for other animals. They scratch the ground with both legs, leaving a trail. This is a warning to other leopards to stay off that road.
The third phase entails looking for excreta. Thanks to the excrement, the guide can anticipate a snow leopard's most recent feeding cycle. The snow leopard has recently hunted if there is fur in the waste.
Dry and injured fur is a sign that the leopard is still searching for new prey. Because we will have a team of many scanners working continually to help you see and capture photographs of the Himalayas' grey ghost, the Nature Wanderers snow leopard expedition in India & tiger photography in Ranthambore seeks to boost your chances of spotting snow leopards. Living comfort is crucial in such harsh conditions, and the homestays will be fully equipped with all amenities to ensure you have a comfortable stay in wildlife photography locations.
