KIBBER WILDLIFE RESERVE AND THE SEARCH FOR THE SNOW LEOPARD!
**This can be a stand-alone tour, or you can combine it with our ESSENTIAL INDIA tour, which ends the same day this tour begins**
Join Andrew Goodall on a true adventure at the top of the world! At this time of year, heavy snowfall in the high mountains drives the wildlife to lower ground, giving us the best possible chance of seeing the rarest of big cats – the beautiful Snow Leoapard.
There’s plenty of other wildlife to discover, all the while surrounded by some of the most incredible high-altitude scenery in the world.
Your tour operator and guide is Pierre Duval of multi-award-winning Guiding The Wild (previously Bushbaby Safaris). Photography enthusiasts of all levels are welcome. Non-photographer spouses often join us on tour: camera or no camera – everyone is welcome to join us on this fabulous adventure!
