Birds of Prey
Searching for a glimpse of a hunting carnivore in its natural habitat is never easy..
Being one of the pioneers of the Snow Leopard Treks and tours we realized that a good percentage of the clients also prefer a comfortable lodge to camping. Thus Above & Beyond lodge was conceived as a unit of Snow Leopard Trails and Wild Mountains, primarily for winter guests coming in search of snow leopards in Ulley, western Ladakh.
Located at 4100m, at a higher altitude than other homestays in the village most of the wildlife sightings happen around the lodge itself.
Built in the traditional style with mud bricks and mud plaster, Above & Beyond promises a unique, comfortable experience with centrally heated rooms and 8-inch mattresses and clean beddings.
Apart from the Snow Leopard, guests have been known to spot Tibetan wolves, the Asiatic Ibex, Golden eagle, Himalayan Griffon and many more right from the comfort of the lodging area.
Being pioneers in wildlife tours in the region, our guides have years of experience and are known to be the best spotters in the business. Our team always carry Motorola Walkie Talkies, to ensure better communication while scouting out in the mountains.
We understand that your experience is invaluable and therefore we take no chance by providing you the best equipment, namely the high-end Swarovski and Zeiss scopes to maximize your chance of spotting wildlife.
