Ladakh, a dry and arid mountain kingdom of gorges, cliffs, plateaux, and snow-capped peaks, offers unique wildlife and cultural experiences. This 15-day high-summer tour explores its highest and most remote regions, beginning in Leh after a spectacular trans-Himalayan flight from Delhi. Three days in Leh allow acclimatisation and exploration of the Indus Valley’s cultural and ornithological highlights, including Ibisbills, Citrine Wagtails, Mountain Chiffchaffs, and Red-fronted Serins. On Day 6, we cross the world’s highest motorable pass, Khardung La (5,359m), to the Nubra Valley for cultural highlights and wildlife. From Nubra, we visit Pangong Lake, famed for its blue waters and panoramic views, then continue to Tsokar (4,600m) to see Kiang, Black-necked Cranes, Bar-headed Geese, Ruddy Shelduck, Tibetan Argali, Tibetan Wolf, Tibetan Partridge, and Ground-Tit. Our final destination is Hanle, a pristine high-altitude refuge for Pallas’s Cat, Kiang, Black-necked Cranes, Golden Eagles, Tibetan Sandgrouse, and migratory birds. This itinerary combines spectacular Himalayan scenery with opportunities to observe rare wildlife and experience Ladakh’s unique culture, making it one of the most remarkable tours in the Indian subcontinent.

A post-tour extension to Drass offers sightings of Brown Bear, Himalayan Ibex, Wolves, Marmots, Foxes, Tibetan Antelope, Himalayan Griffon Vultures, and alpine passerines.

Our holidays to India take the wildlife enthusiast to a diverse and abundant land. The Indian subcontinent encompasses an enormous range of habitats, extending from the spectacular peaks of the Himalayas in the north, through forests, lakes and deserts to the moist Nilgiri hills in the south of the country where the shoreline is lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. These diverse landscapes support some of the most spectacular profusions of life on Earth.


India is an exciting destination in other respects. The abundant archaeological reminders of the country’s extraordinary history, and the fascination of a completely unique and complex culture are reasons enough to visit India. However, for anyone interested in natural history the attractions of a wildlife holiday to India are simply too great to resist.

Ladakh is a dry and arid mountain kingdom, dominated by magnificent gorges, cliffs, plateaux and rugged snow-capped peaks. On this unique 15- day tour of Ladakh during high summer, we will be accessing its highest and most remote regions in search of many of the special birds and mammals of the Tibetan plateau. Beginning in Leh, after a spectacular trans-Himalayan flight from Delhi, we will explore stunning high-altitude and mountain landscapes in a region that lies in the rain shadow beyond the Himalaya, right on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. During the three days in Leh, we will acclimatise, and enjoy the cultural and ornithological highlights (amongst them Ibisbills, Citrine Wagtails, Mountain Chiffchaffs, Tickell’s and Sulphur-bellied Warblers, Wallcreepers and Red-fronted Serins) of the Indus Valley. 

After acclimatising to the high altitude whilst based in Leh, we will drive to Zingchen, a tiny settlement consisting of just five houses. Although only a short distance from Leh, we are now really in the mountains, and almost every winter Snow Leopards come down to raid the sheep pens here, and Dhole (Asian Wild Dogs) have also been seen. Zingchen is a good area for Ladakh Urial or Shapu (a local species of wild sheep) and in the evening we will look for them on the ridges above our campsite. From now on we will be looking out for typical birds of these mountains such as Himalayan Griffon, Lammergeier, Golden Eagle, Himalayan Snowcock, Chukar, Hill Pigeon, Red-billed Chough, Alpine Chough and the exquisite Stoliczka's Tit-warbler. Black Redstarts and Common Rosefinches are everywhere and we can also expect to see some of the less common species such as Brandt's Mountain Finch, Plain Mountain Finch, Tibetan Snowfinch and Eastern Great Rosefinch.

Then, from Leh, we will visit Hemis National Park, the largest protected area in India and home to such elusive mammals as Snow Leopard, Bharal (Blue Sheep), Shapu, Tibetan Wolf and Eurasian Brown Bear, before driving to the Tsokar Wetlands. Lying south-east of Leh on the western edge of the Tibetan Plateau at an altitude of 4,600 metres, the Tsokar basin is known for its population of Kiang (Tibetan Wild Ass) and breeding Black-necked Cranes, Bar-headed Geese and Ruddy Shelduck. This region also has a healthy population of Tibetan Argali (Great Tibetan Sheep), while Tibetan Wolf, Tibetan Partridge, Tibetan Sandgrouse and Hume's Groundpecker are among some of the other special wildlife regularly seen here.

From our base in Tsokar, we will spend a day exploring the areas around Puga and Sumdo. The former, a couple of hours away, is best known for its hot sulphur springs and their reputed medicinal properties. The meadows, marshes, streams and high rocky slopes of the Puga Valley also provide a variety of habitats for birds. This area is known for its breeding Black-necked Cranes, which we will look for here, as well as for such other specialities as Ibisbill, Tibetan Partridge, Horned Lark, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Upland Buzzard, Hume's Groundpecker, Tibetan Lark, Great Rosefinch and both Robin and Brown Accentors. A good variety of mammals may be seen here too, amongst them Long-tailed Marmot, Blue Sheep, Tibetan Wolf, Woolly Hare, Ladakh Pika, Red Fox and Mountain Weasel. From Puga we will drive for an hour to Sumdo, one of the many Tibetan settlements in Ladakh, to enjoy the rich avifauna, including flagship species such as Himalayan Snowcock, Lammergeier and White-tailed Rubythroat.

Similar species, and many more, may be encountered during a stay at Tsomoriri Lake, which lies at an altitude of 4,550 metres. This beautiful emerald-blue lake, the largest high-altitude lake in this trans-Himalayan region, is well known for both its breeding wetland birds as well as its scenic beauty. The lake (also known as the Tsomoriri Wetland Conservation Reserve) lies in the Changthang area of Ladakh and is an important breeding area for Black-necked Crane and Bar-headed Geese. Common Redshank, Ruddy Shelduck, Lesser Sand-plover and many other species also breed here. We will spend some time exploring the lake and we will also visit the ancient village of Korzok, set around a Tibetan Buddhist monastery which belongs to the Drukpa path of Tibetan Buddhism and houses a Shakyamuni Buddha and other fine Buddhist statues. 

Finally, we will drive over the Khardung La (5,359 metres), which is claimed to be the highest motorable pass in the world, to a fascinating and little-visited region of the Nubra Valley. We must now leave the spectacular mountain kingdom of Ladakh and fly back to Delhi where we spend our last night and the whole of the next day visiting the essential historical sites in Delhi to complete this special tour of one of the most beautiful regions on Earth.

Summary

Ladakh is a dry and arid mountain kingdom, dominated by magnificent gorges, cliffs, plateaux and rugged snow-capped peaks. On this unique 15- day tour of Ladakh during high summer, we will be accessing its highest and most remote regions in search of many of the special birds and mammals of the Tibetan plateau. Beginning in Leh, after a spectacular trans-Himalayan flight from Delhi, we will explore stunning high-altitude and mountain landscapes in a region that lies in the rain shadow beyond the Himalaya, right on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. During the three days in Leh, we will acclimatise, and enjoy the cultural and ornithological highlights (amongst them Ibisbills, Citrine Wagtails, Mountain Chiffchaffs, Tickell’s and Sulphur-bellied Warblers, Wallcreepers and Red-fronted Serins) of the Indus Valley. 

After acclimatising to the high altitude whilst based in Leh, we will drive to Zingchen, a tiny settlement consisting of just five houses. Although only a short distance from Leh, we are now really in the mountains, and almost every winter Snow Leopards come down to raid the sheep pens here, and Dhole (Asian Wild Dogs) have also been seen. Zingchen is a good area for Ladakh Urial or Shapu (a local species of wild sheep) and in the evening we will look for them on the ridges above our campsite. From now on we will be looking out for typical birds of these mountains such as Himalayan Griffon, Lammergeier, Golden Eagle, Himalayan Snowcock, Chukar, Hill Pigeon, Red-billed Chough, Alpine Chough and the exquisite Stoliczka's Tit-warbler. Black Redstarts and Common Rosefinches are everywhere and we can also expect to see some of the less common species such as Brandt's Mountain Finch, Plain Mountain Finch, Tibetan Snowfinch and Eastern Great Rosefinch.

Then, from Leh, we will visit Hemis National Park, the largest protected area in India and home to such elusive mammals as Snow Leopard, Bharal (Blue Sheep), Shapu, Tibetan Wolf and Eurasian Brown Bear, before driving to the Tsokar Wetlands. Lying south-east of Leh on the western edge of the Tibetan Plateau at an altitude of 4,600 metres, the Tsokar basin is known for its population of Kiang (Tibetan Wild Ass) and breeding Black-necked Cranes, Bar-headed Geese and Ruddy Shelduck. This region also has a healthy population of Tibetan Argali (Great Tibetan Sheep), while Tibetan Wolf, Tibetan Partridge, Tibetan Sandgrouse and Hume's Groundpecker are among some of the other special wildlife regularly seen here.

From our base in Tsokar, we will spend a day exploring the areas around Puga and Sumdo. The former, a couple of hours away, is best known for its hot sulphur springs and their reputed medicinal properties. The meadows, marshes, streams and high rocky slopes of the Puga Valley also provide a variety of habitats for birds. This area is known for its breeding Black-necked Cranes, which we will look for here, as well as for such other specialities as Ibisbill, Tibetan Partridge, Horned Lark, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Upland Buzzard, Hume's Groundpecker, Tibetan Lark, Great Rosefinch and both Robin and Brown Accentors. A good variety of mammals may be seen here too, amongst them Long-tailed Marmot, Blue Sheep, Tibetan Wolf, Woolly Hare, Ladakh Pika, Red Fox and Mountain Weasel. From Puga we will drive for an hour to Sumdo, one of the many Tibetan settlements in Ladakh, to enjoy the rich avifauna, including flagship species such as Himalayan Snowcock, Lammergeier and White-tailed Rubythroat.

Similar species, and many more, may be encountered during a stay at Tsomoriri Lake, which lies at an altitude of 4,550 metres. This beautiful emerald-blue lake, the largest high-altitude lake in this trans-Himalayan region, is well known for both its breeding wetland birds as well as its scenic beauty. The lake (also known as the Tsomoriri Wetland Conservation Reserve) lies in the Changthang area of Ladakh and is an important breeding area for Black-necked Crane and Bar-headed Geese. Common Redshank, Ruddy Shelduck, Lesser Sand-plover and many other species also breed here. We will spend some time exploring the lake and we will also visit the ancient village of Korzok, set around a Tibetan Buddhist monastery which belongs to the Drukpa path of Tibetan Buddhism and houses a Shakyamuni Buddha and other fine Buddhist statues. 

Finally, we will drive over the Khardung La (5,359 metres), which is claimed to be the highest motorable pass in the world, to a fascinating and little-visited region of the Nubra Valley. We must now leave the spectacular mountain kingdom of Ladakh and fly back to Delhi where we spend our last night and the whole of the next day visiting the essential historical sites in Delhi to complete this special tour of one of the most beautiful regions on Earth.
