Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
Rare creatures of the high-altitude desert
Ladakh's stark, high-altitude wilderness is home to some of the Himalayas' most sought-after wildlife, from herds of kiang wild ass on the plains to marmots basking near the passes. Our wildlife tours take you to the valleys, lakes and grasslands where sightings are most likely, at a pace that respects both the animals and the altitude. Around the wetlands you may spot black-necked cranes and bar-headed geese, while patient travellers scan the high ridges for blue sheep and their elusive predators. Summer, from May to September, is the accessible season for the classic circuits and open passes.
Land in Leh and acclimatise gently. An evening briefing covers the species to look out for.
Easy outings to Sangam and nearby wetlands ease you into altitude while offering first sightings.
Drive to the grasslands en route to Pangong, scanning for kiang and marmots along the way.
Spend time by the lake for waterbirds and the surrounding plains for wild ass, staying overnight nearby.
A morning of quiet observation before the drive back to Leh over Chang La for your onward journey.

Ladakh sits in a cold, high-altitude ecosystem quite unlike anywhere else in India, and its wildlife is adapted to survive it. We guide you to the plains, wetlands and ridges where kiang, marmots, blue sheep and rare birds are most often seen. Patience and quiet observation are the keys to a rewarding tour.
Summer sightings can include:
The famed snow leopard is chiefly a winter subject, requiring a specialist trip.
Fly into Leh and rest on arrival to acclimatise before heading to the higher wildlife areas. Tours then move out towards the lakes and grasslands where sightings are best. We arrange the inner-line permits needed for restricted zones.
May to September is the accessible summer season, when the passes are open and the plains are alive with resident and migratory species. This is ideal for kiang, marmots and waterbirds. Winter offers the rare chance of snow leopard but demands a dedicated, cold-weather expedition.
We keep a respectful distance from all wildlife and never disturb nests or dens, following the guidance of local reserves. Bring binoculars and a long lens for the best experience, plus warm layers for early starts. As with any Ladakh trip, acclimatise properly and stay hydrated at altitude.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
