Snow Leopard Sighting

Witness the Ghost of the Mountains

The Legend

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) roams the high-altitude terrain of Pakistan's northern ranges — one of the rarest and most elusive big cats on Earth. With fewer than 500 individuals estimated across Pakistan, a verified sighting is a once-in-a-lifetime privilege. Our expert naturalists and community trackers have spent years mapping movement corridors to maximise every guest's chance of an encounter.
