Camouflaged perfectly against the powder white landscape, spotting a snow leopard once is going to hook you for life. While the itinerary has been crafted carefully to maximize the adventure and wildlife experience that Rumbak has to offer, Snow Leopard sightings requires modifications to the original plan on a day-to-day basis.

Accordingly the plan for the day is arrived at, prepared for and briefed by the Naturalist.
