Romance of the Phantom | Snow Leopards mating. | Ladakh 2016.

It was astonishing to get a glimpse into the extremely secretive lives of these magical creatures.
I feel truly humbled to have seen and documented perhaps the most intimate moment of the world's most elusive big cat's life!

Here is where he needed to travel to find it
"The precarious spot with a near vertical stony cliff of around 300 meters from where we saw the most special natural history moment of our lives!
Look at the frozen river below!
Photos coming soon!!"

Incredible, incredible scenes from Ladakh!
28 Feb: We see a Tibetan Wolf high up on the Rumbak ridge.
29 Feb: Our day starts with an Eurasian Lynx trying to hunt a woolly hare and ends with a gorgeous male Snow Leopard scrape - marking on a beautifully sunlit peak.
1 Mar: We see 2 snow leopards meeting each other on a ridge, the male had met a female.
2 to 4 Mar: We spend 3 entire days in euphoria! We are witness to the extraordinary sight of the Snow Leopards courting, play-fighting and mating!! All this from a distance of not more than 200 meters! (Ofcourse, reaching the spot was an ordeal!).
Many photographs, stories and experiences from the Ladakhi wild to share! Reply
