Snow Leopard Tour

Mongolia is home to the world’s second-largest population of the elusive Snow Leopard. Our Snow Leopard tours attract wildlife enthusiasts eager to observe these magnificent cats at lower altitudes (2,200–3,000 m) than in most other countries, increasing the chances of sightings. Tours are scheduled during periods when the likelihood of encounters is highest.

Note: While we cannot guarantee a Snow Leopard sighting, our experienced guides make every effort to locate them. Participants should be prepared for several kilometers of hiking up and down over rugged terrain at altitudes of 2,200–2,800 m.
