3. BNHS Camp to Ladakh, July 2013
Ladakh is bounded by two of
the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and the Karakoram.
Truly a geological wonder where you can see the effects of the buckling and
folding of the earth's crust as the Indian subcontinent pushed with
irresistible force against the immovable mass of Asia which created these great
mountains. The amazing landscape is nature’s own sculpture by wind and water
over millennia. Embark on this land safari to explore Ladakh’s wilderness, to
see the Black-necked Crane, Golden Eagle, Bearded Vulture, Fire-fronted Serin,
Winter Wren, White-winged Redstart, Horned and Hume’s Short-toed Lark,
Wallcreeper, Alpine and Robin Accentor, Brandt’s Mountain-finch, Common
Rosefinch, Himalayan Griffon, Common Merganser, Bar-headed Goose, Chukar
partridge, and mammals like Kiang (Tibetan Wild Ass), Himalayan Blue Sheep,
Mountain Stoat, Royle’s Pika, Himalayan and Long-tailed Marmot. Agama lizards,
Vulnerable Apollo butterflies and wildflowers are also deen.
