Tigers & Snow Leopards

27th March – 11th April, 2027

This 16-day expedition brings together two of India's most iconic wild landscapes: the teak forests and river gorges of Central India, followed by the high-altitude Himalayan desert.

We begin in Panna National Park with six game drives and a scenic boat ride along the Ken River, tracking Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and mugger crocodiles. Next, we head north into the Trans-Himalayas of Ladakh, taking time to acclimate in Leh before heading to the quiet village of Mangyu. Based out of the Snow Leopard Lodge, we'll head out daily with expert local trackers to scan the steep cliffs and valleys for snow leopards, Himalayan wolves, ibex, and Ladakh urial.

Scheduled for March 27 – April 11, 2027, the route covers New Delhi, Panna National Park, Leh, and Mangyu, featuring stays at Lemon Tree Aerocity in Delhi, Ken River Lodge in Panna, The Grand Dragon Ladakh in Leh, and Snow Leopard Lodge in Mangyu. Primary target species include the Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, Himalayan Wolf, Leopard, Marsh Crocodile, Asiatic Ibex, and Ladakh Urial.
