This holiday is based in a remote site in Mongolia that offers an excellent chance of seeing Snow Leopard – and without having to brave the harsh physical and climatic conditions so often associated with viewing this secretive and much sought-after species. After a night in Ulaanbaatar we fly to the city of Khovd, then drive west to our ‘ger' camp for a 6-night stay in the foothills of the Altai Mountains. Our focus will be on finding Snow Leopards and enjoying the other wildlife of this remote and beautiful region. We will visit nearby steppes in search of antelope and gazelles, and hope also to find Wolf as well as special Asian birds. We end our tour in Hustai National Park, home of the Przewalski’s Horse.
