Snow leopard sighting near Chadar frozen river

Photo by Muntasir Mamum of wild snow leopard near Chadar frozen river in Zanskar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.

I got this email and photo from Muntasir Mamum recently who saw a wild snow leopard in the Indian Himalayas in January. Lucky!

”We were a combined team of thirteen from Bangladesh and India up for a winter trekking to Frozen River Chadar which is located in India,  particularly Jammu & Kashmir territory.   I saw that cat from very far so it showed up tiny but it was chasing ibex. It was in January this year and I guess it was near Tsarak Do.”

Thanks for sharing this, Muntasir. We can see the cat very clearly, you must have been so excited. Any-one else would like to send me photos and/or stories of snow leopard sightings? Please do so.
