Day 2: New Delhi – Leh (Flight)
After breakfast, head to the airport to catch the G8 225 aircraft to Leh, which takes off at 08:40. Our agent will welcome you when you arrive at the Leh airport and drive you to the accommodation. Flying from Delhi to Leh involves a swift elevation change of 3000 m, necessitating the greatest amount of acclimatisation possible for visitors to this region. Spend the night in Leh’s hotel.
Day 3 : Leh
Drive down the Indus River the following morning after breakfast in search of waders, dippers, and other birds like ibisbills, harriers, and ducks.

Some of Leh’s most well-known tourist destinations include the Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace, and Namgyal Tsemo. Spend the night in Leh’s hotel.
Day 4 : Leh – Ulley ( 77 km, 3 – 4 hrs drive)
Travel to Ulley, located in the western part of Ladhak and home to the snow leopards, after breakfast. On your way to Ulley through the Himalayas, the largest creation in the world, you will pause for a tea break in Nimoo and have the option of visiting Likir Monastry. Being perched atop a small hill in a valley makes this monastery one of the most alluring locations. after that proceed to Ulley. Once there, register at the hotel. Dinner and a night’s stay at Ulley’s lodge.
Day 5 : Ulley
Your daily activities will now be determined by the snow leopard’s whereabouts as of this day. You will be hiking and camping all day long, depending on how the Ghost Cat moves. You can set out from the lodge after breakfast and start looking for a Snow Leopard. The resort provides a breathtaking view of the massive cliffs, which are a snow leopard’s ideal home. The scan is initiated with a scope. From the lodge, you might be able to see a snow leopard, wolves, ibex, and other creatures.
If there isn’t a chance, a spotter will already be on duty searching for a Snow Leopard on foot, which takes about two to three hours, at a greater elevation. You can get help from your potter there with the camera and the other equipment. Spend the day seeking about for other lives surviving in such harsh conditions. Every meal and overnight stay at the Ulley lodge.
Day 6 - 8 : Ulley
Everything you do depends on how the Snow Leopard moves. Early in the morning, the search for the Ghost Cat starts from the resort. After breakfast, climb the hour to Sangpo Nala if there is no luck in the region around the resort. The region has a higher success rate than other regions and has traditionally generated amazing sightings. Search the cliffs all day for the Snow Leopard. Because of the incredibly high wind speeds and vapor-carrying winds that pass over the trans Himalayas, there is no rain there.
You will learn about a snow Leopard from each member of the group, which is one advantage of doing the tour here. We will find out about it and travel to the sighting spot even if a villager reports seeing a Snow Leopard. Every meal and overnight stay at the Ulley lodge.
Day 9 - 10 : Ulley
There are also alternate spots nearby, such as the communities of Saspoche and Hemis Shukpachen, if you’ve already spotted a Snow Leopard or haven’t had any luck. In addition, wolves and snow leopards are frequently seen in these two villages. A wolf pack with between 5 and 8 members prowls the area between these villages. They now consider these locations to be their home. During treks and Snow Leopard searches, you might also come across Asiatic Ibex, Himalayan Thar, Blue Sheep, Marmot, Red Fox, Eurasian Lynx, Tibeten Wolf, Palla’s Cat, and many other creatures roaming on the cliffs of the Trans-Himalayas. The greyish coat of the Asiatic ibex makes it camouflage since it nicely complements the colour of the mountains.

Day 13: Ranthambore National Park

Near the confluence of the Aravali and Vindhya hill ranges, Ranthambore National Park is one of the best areas to see wild animals because the animals are used to the attention they get there. With the inclusion of Sawai Man Sing Sanctuary, the Ranthambhore National Park’s 400 sq km total size increases to around 500 sq km. The park’s name, Ranthambhore, derives from the adobe stronghold that dates back a thousand years and dominates the surrounding forest and open valleys between the Aravalli and Vindhya mountain ranges. Fruit trees and water ponds adorn the valleys in these areas. The natural and historical worlds collide in Ranthambhore, which is well-known for its Tiger Sightings.

In only one park, you may find all the angles, lighting, backgrounds, and many frames. Ranthambhore is a haven for bird lovers with around 300 distinct species of birds. In actuality, Ranthambhore and its surrounds are a bird watcher’s paradise. From their nesting sites north of the Himalayas, large cormorants, painted spurfowls, Sarus cranes, bronzed winged jacanas, sandpipers, kingfishers, nightjars, painted sandgrouses, great horned owls, and many more frequent winter migrants arrive to Ranthambhore and the adjacent areas.

Day 17 : Jaipur – Bera (390 km, 07 hrs drive)
After an early breakfast, depart from the hotel and drive the 390 kilometres (about 7 hours) to Bera. Check into the lodge upon arrival. The Jawai Dam is not far from Bera, Rajasthan. It is renowned for its breathtaking leopard sightings. The encounter is distinctive because there are leopards nearby this beach town rather than a forest. The elusive Leopard, the huge Bluebull, the Crocodile, the ever-curious Hyena, the graceful Pelican, the Greylag Goose, the Robin Accentor, Demoiselle Crane, and Barheaded Goose are just a few of the mammals and birds that call Bera home. You may easily share the leopards’ habitat by going on a late-night safari. Dinner and overnight safari in the hotel.
Day 18 - 19 : Bera
Start your safari early in the morning before sunrise to experience Rajasthan’s golden morning as the sun rises over this parched region. The main draw to the area is the leopard. The Marsh Crocodile is one of the other wildlife species that call this area home, though. What actors they are—15-foot giants that are capable of fooling anyone with their sleepy falsehoods. They might still be as active when they are not doing anything as when they are hunting. They occasionally don’t move and we have to watch out since they mix in with the rusty, muddy ground around the reservoir. They lounge around all day in the heat, and when they are hungry, they just jump into the fish-filled lake. This makes sightings difficult while they are in motion, but they are always noticeable when lying on the shore on a sunny day.
Afternoon again proceed for jeep safari. All meals and overnight at the lodge in Bera.
Day 20 : Bera – Ahmedabad (280 km, 5-6 hrs drive)

Day 22 : Sasan Gir National Park
Jeep safaris throughout the morning and the afternoon within the National Park. The local guides in this area are quite knowledgeable about the parks. Because they are familiar with the region of each lion, one can determine where to go. Since birth, they have been observing these lions. Gir National Park is the only place outside of Africa where lions can be seen in their native environment. Gir lions are stunning animals with an average length of 2.75 metres and larger elbow tufts, belly folds, and tail tassels than their African cousins, who have thicker manes. Gir is also home to 350 species of birds and 38 species of animals in addition to lions.
