Spotting Wildlife in Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary of the Himalayas.

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

Winter in the Himalayas offers a unique opportunity for spotting rare wildlife. Snow leopards descend to lower altitudes, while Himalayan Ibexes and birds (like snow partridge and chukar partridge) are often seen against the pristine snow backdrop. Last winter I spotted snow leopards, Bharal (blue sheep) navigating snow-covered slopes, and Yaks (Bos grunniens) creating a stunning contrast in the white landscape.
