Overview

Snow Leopard Trek 2024

Hemis National Park is one of the major attractions of Ladakh which draws many adventurers and wildlife enthusiasts from all over the world. It is spread over an elevation of 4100 meters and covers the entire Rumbak Valley. The national park is home to animals of various species including snow leopards and Himalayan birds. 

The Snow Leopard Trek, one of the popular winter treks in the Ladakh region, is located in an area where human hospitality and rugged mountains welcome you. 

Many rare and endangered animal species are found in this cold desert such as the elusive Snow Leopards, Tibetan wolves, Blue Sheep, Horned Sheep, Eurasian Brown Bears, Ibex, Tibetan Antelope, Shapo, Marmot, and many more. 

It is inhabited by many species of birds such as the Golden Eagle, various species of vultures, Oriole, Snow Cock, Golden Eagle, Horned Lark, Red Build Chuff, etc., and migratory birds.

While going on the Snow Leopard trek in Ladakh, there is a surprise at every turn. The trek allows one to become familiar with the folklore of the Rumbak Valley. 

It thus brings out the culture of an indigenous region by blowing the breath of the high-altitude desert and the gust of cold air.
