A truly authentic homestay high in the Himalayas, Snow Leopard Lodge is in one of the optimal locations to glimpse a snow leopard. While on the search for these notoriously elusive creatures, you’ll see an array of other remarkable wildlife before returning to a cozy stay with delicious traditional food.
First it’s the incredible spice scents waftin from the kitchen at the heart of the lodge, and then the taste of the delicious traditional cooking by your host Ladakhi family.
You’re contributing to the conservation of the snow leopard population by staying at the lodge, with funds supporting the Snow Leopard Conservancy.
LOCATION
India’s Ladakh region translates as ‘the land of high peaks’. In the Ulley Valley, at an altitude of 13,000ft near the mountainous Tibetan border, Snow Leopard Lodge is a remote destination for those in search of one of the world’s most remarkable creatures. It was here that Sir David Attenborough recorded the first-ever footage of snow leopards mating in the wild for Planet Earth II.
Snow Leopard Lodge is a low stone building surrounded by serrated snowy peaks and crumbling ridges. Simple and homey, decorated in a colorful traditional style within, this intimate homestay in the home of a Ladakhi family doubles as a cultural immersion.
WHAT MAKES THIS HOTEL UNIQUE?
It’s probably the best place in the world to stay if you want to see a snow leopard in its natural habitat. While you’re tracking these graceful big cats alongside expert guides, you’ll encounter other remarkable species that call this desolate, arid landscape home: Himalayan foxes, brown bears, yaks, ibex, and wolves. Overhead, gliding through the crisp mountain air, Himalayan griffon vultures and golden eagles survey the mountain flanks and fields of scree.
