The majestic snow leopard is one of nature’s most efficient, yet beautiful, killing machines and there’s no better place to see them up close than Mongolia. An estimated 1,200 snow leopards still live in the country and Tour Mongolia offers a trip to visit them.
The 14-day trip will take you into the Altai Mountains on a quest to catch these elusive beasts in their natural habitat. Along the way, you’ll meet tons of locals and even have the opportunity to dine with them in their homes. A few nights of the trip will find you playing the overnight guest of local nomads.
One of the highlights of the trip is the opportunity to experience not just the snow leopards, but also the golden eagle. Many nomads in the Altai Mountains use them for hunting food and your guide will let you learn all about the process and see them in action while visiting a family of hunters on the road.
The trip also includes museum stops and mountain trekking adventures. It’s somewhat dangerous and reserved for skilled adventurers, though anyone in decent shape can probably make a go of it.
At the end of your trek you’ll finally get up close and personal with the oversized cats and watch them in action. It’s a great opportunity to explore the country’s local traditions while also seeing one of the world’s rarest creatures.
