Follow the call of the wild on an Indian odyssey

Complete the Telegraph Travel Awards 2019 survey at telegraph.co. uk/tt-awards and you could win a 14-day adventure on the trail of snow leopards in India and Ladakh with Voygr

This 14-day adventure for two lucky prize-winners starts in Delhi, staying at The Imperial Hotel, before heading up to the high mountains of Ladakh in search of the ghost of the mountains with Voygr Expeditions. The high reaches of the Ladakh Range are prime territory for the magnificent Snow Leopard and Voygr’s expert guides are the best in the business. If you’ve seen the “Mountains” episode of BBC’s Planet Earth II, where snow Leopards were caught on film for the first time, you’ve seen the tracking abilities of the Voygr team, as they were responsible for guiding the crew.

THE PRIZE

After leaving the striking surroundings of The Imperial Hotel, a short flight to the Trans-Himalayas of Ladakh will see your first few days acclimatising at the Grand Dragon Hotel. The days will be spent at a slower than normal pace, enjoying the incredible food and drink and views the property has to offer. A few easy days of sightseeing will allow you to acclimatize gently to the altitude of Leh. Then guests will undertake a a short trek or horse ride into Hemis National Park. This will be base camp as you search for the ghost of the mountains.

Ladakh, India, might be the best place in the world to view snow leopards. You will learn about the unique Karakoram-West Tibetan Plateau alpine steppe ecoregion that Hemis National Park is part of, get an in-depth look at what snow leopard conservation entails besides remote communities. The national park, with a territory of 1,700 square miles, is home to a large breeding population of snow leopards alongside a healthy number of Tibetan wolves, argali ( great Tibetan sheep), bharal (blue sheep), shapu (Ladakhi urial) and Asiatic ibex.

Each day will be spent tracking snow leopards with Voygr’s A-team of top naturalists, conservationists, and explorers. This journey combines the search for the snow leopard with a unique take on “expedition luxury”, with Voygr’s fully heated expedition camps.

The trip will end with a return to Leh, a flight back to Delhi and a lovely last night at The Imperial Hotel.
