Ghosts of the Mountain: Snow Leopard Expedition in Kibber, India

Ghosts of the Mountain: Snow Leopard Expedition in Kibber, India
In some of the harshest conditions on earth, lives one of the world's most elusive animals; the snow leopard. In this film, I travel to Kibber National Park, in the India part of the Himalayas in search of snow leopards. Alongside my guide, Liton Paul, and his team, I also learn about what it is like for local communities to live alongside these animals.

Wonderful film Roxy. You captured the environment so well and the frustration of trying to find these illusive animals. Loved it.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you very much! Was definitely a difficult but incredibly fulfilling trip

[@boi4005]

Thank you for sharing. I wish it was longer than 6 minutes so I could enjoy more❤. Such a beautiful and majestic animal. It's nice to see the villager's and government working together to protect them by protecting the livestock.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Aww thank you! I am trying my best to increase the length of my videos over time :) yes, it’s an amazing community project, helping both people and wildlife

[@wildlifespotteruk]

Amazing film. The Himalayas are on the ol' bucket list of places to visit, a truly stunning place. So chuffed you managed to get a sighting. It will only get harder in the following years I imagine.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Yes I imagine you’re probably right, sadly!

[@SagarGosaviPhotography]

Hey Roxy .. just bumped on to this. Great to see the film on snow leopards of kibber in spiti valley. I am working on snow leopards in India from past 7 years now. Amazing cats. Thanks for putting this up.

[@Seamemaria]

Wow, what a beautiful landscape ❤️ I'm happy you managed one sighting at least. But sad to hear about the impacts of the changing environment on the leopards. Lovely video!

[@bethaneydunne9682]

What an amazing expereince 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@mrsmith4662]

What an incredible and inhospitable place - straight out of The Lord of the Rings or something. That odd village of houses built on a cone of rock? Certainly not an easy life for the people or the snow leopard.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

That is actually a monastery (if you’re referring to the drone shot) 😁

[@mrsmith4662]

@@RoxytheZoologist Thanks for replying - Yes, the drone shot at the beginning. Love your videos. Have used a few clips at school.

[@ReeceVisuals]

Fantastic video i would just say turn up the volume on your narration a bit as I find it difficult to hear you sometimes. Maybe it’s because I’m using AirPods though 😅

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[@adarshponsonby4303]

I was in Ladakh for two years and after days of search finally found a snow leopard

[@Dwerty-kn4of]

Nice shots! Try to find the clouded leopard next. It'll be an expedition of a lifetime.

[@adriannydegger]

Well, I guess, milder winters will mean better chance for survival of both prey and predator.

[@sourabhjainnnn]

what a great experience in which month you shot this ?

[@RoxytheZoologist]

This was shot in December

[@jmalkus1702]

Snow leopard is the last and only animal human can barely reach. Hope human stop the curiosity and leave them alone . Animals with human touch all get endangered now. Please save snow leopard.

[@srmtravel]

True.
