Tigers + Snow Leopards 2026
(9 – 24 February 2026)
India is the home to 70 percent Tiger population of the world. Bandhavgarh Tiger reserve has one of the highest density of Bengal Tigers and also home to some famous named individual tigers known as Sita and Charger. This park has a large biodiversity for tiger population and also has a large breeding population of leopards, Indian Gaur, Sloth Bear and different species of deer. We will spend 4 nights in Bandhavgarh looking for these beautiful cats along with other mammals and birds.
Snow Leopards are some of the most difficult animals to spot in the wild. They usually live at altitudes over 15,000-16,000ft in summers and prey mostly on Bharals or Mountain goats, Ibex, Himalayan Thar and Markhors. During the winters, all their prey come down to lower altitudes in search of grass and with them the snow leopards too start coming down. That is the best chance for us to sight them. India has approximately 500-600 snow leopards. Along with the Snow leopards you also get to witness the Buddhist civilizations of Key Monastery and the winters of Spiti Valley. In recent times, Kibber Wildlife sanctuary has been a great spot to find Snow Leopards, the Himalayan Red Fox, Blue Sheep, Himalayan Ibex and other mammals. It is also an abode to several species of birds like the Golden Eagle, different species of vultures and many migratory birds.
This tour is an unique experience for a chance to spots the Tigers and Snow leopards in the wild.
