  The Snow Leopard
  Snow Leopards are one of the rarest species that exist on our planet. They exist only in 12 countries in the world. Even in these places they are seldom seen. Such is the majesty of this animal that a very few people have been lucky to see this spotted cat in the wild. India is one of those countries where Snow Leopards exist; they rule the cliffs of Trans-Himalayan landscape in Spiti and Ladakh and are highly revered by the people who live here. Due to this respect from people to wildlife, Snow Leopards in these mountains are highly protected from poachers. With a stable population of Snow Leopards, it is also one of the best places to see this rare cat. It is so rare to see a Snow Leopard that people here call it the ‘The Grey Ghost’.
  
  Winters in Spiti
  The best time to spot rare Himalayan wildlife like – Snow Leopard, Siberian Ibex, Blue Sheep, Tibetan Wolf, Red fox, Lammergeyer, Golden Eagle, Tibetan Snowcock, etc. As the temperatures plummet these animals descend down from altitude above 5000m to around 4000m in search of food and is the best time to spot them. Join us, as we follow in the footsteps of a very elusive creature of the wild-Snow Leopard at Spiti.
  Spiti Valley holds fascination for intrepid travellers for myriad reasons. For adventurers, the moonscape terrain, harsh conditions pose the ultimate challenge, for click happy photographers, the winding turquoise Spiti River, deep blue skies and inky nights, mystical people and monastic life presents a wonderful opportunity. For fossil finders Spiti is the bottom of ancient Tethys sea rich with fossils lying untouched for more than 500 million years, whatever be the reason, a visit to Spiti Valley is definitely on top of many bucket lists.
  
  At MONK TRAVELS, the reason that pulls us to Spiti is the SNOW LEOPARD! Join us as we follow the trail of this elusive wild life creature and get a rare look into his world. Along with an expert snow leopard tracker and an eclectic group of adventurers, we will be following the pugmarks of this shy animal.
  
  The highlight of this 8 TO14-days expedition includes living in sub-zero temperatures, seeing exquisite flora and fauna like blue sheep, chukar, red fox, great tit, magpie, robin accentor and golden eagle, and of course following the trail of big cat.
  
  This adventure of a lifetime is for those who truly appreciate offbeat trails and have the taste for extraordinary experiences.
