IN LOVE WITH LADAKH
With a passion for the majestic Himalayas, we have dedicated over 13 years to guiding, trekking, and wildlife spotting, especially the elusive snow leopard. From collaborating on the Ice Stupa project to teaching sustainable tourism, Rigzen’s journey in Ladakh is a testament to his love for nature and adventure.
Mingyur and team are incredible people. They have everything you look for in a local expert- knowledge of local history, geography, culture and people, ability to suggest sensible activities based on our health ; foresight to handle situations dependent on ladakhs weather. Overall I had a great experience of Ladakh, thanks to Mingyur and team

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Ladakh has always been a place close to my heart and I had wanted to trek there. Upon researching, I came across Panthera expeditions and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. We did Markha valley trek with them and Mingyur’s knowledge of flora and fauna around was exceptional. He always went out of the way to make sure we had the best time. The service was so good that we extended our stay and travelled to tso moriri, hanle and umling la with them. Though it wasn’t a part of the itinerary, Mingyur went out of his way to help us spot wildlife and we got to see Red fox, black necked crane among others. Overall, I and my friends had a very memorable experience with Panthera. Would highly recommend

We had an amazing week with Mingyur, exploring remote valleys in search of wildlife. Our program was flexible depending on everyday sightings which proved essential to find several species. We had the luck to find a snow leopard very close in a remote valley that few guides know.

Mingyur and his staff made all the best to make comfortable our snow leopard tour. And they were successful. My experience was wonderful!!
Our group of 5 (we never met before but we had a good feeling from the first moment on) had the chance to see ibex, urial, wolves, golden eagles, Himalayan bearded vulture and finally a family of 3 snow leopards. To make it possible they drove us for many our to a far location that wasn't in our plan. In this way they gave us the opportunity to see this beautiful animal.
Hotel they choose for us in Leh was elegant, guesthouses in the villages were cozy and food was always good.
Mingyur and Namgyal were scanning all the time the mountains and they are very good spotters. Photographer Pradeep and guide Panchami explained us a lot of things about wildlife and conservation. Pradeep gave useful tips to all of us about photography and showed us wonderful videos of indian wildlife and landscapes.
Our drivers and cook were very attentive.

Highly professional tour organizer, and an amazing person. Enjoyed every single moment of the trip. Always recommended! I travelled extensively with the Panthera Expedition for over a month and it was an incredible experience. We travelled all across from eastern corner to the western corner of Ladakh mainly spotting different kinds of Wildlife. They have an immense knowledge of the entire landscape and well connected with people to make sure your travel is hassle free. There is no compromise in anything and always supportive of your needs and you well being during the travel. I would highly recommend travelling with them if you are in Ladakh, not juts for wildlife but also for experiencing the rich culture and beautiful Himalayan landscape.

Absolutely wonderful trekking experience from Rumtse to Tso Moriri with my brother and sister, from 22 to 27 years old. Yet experienced in trekking and alpinism in Europe, it was our first time in the Himalayans for the three of us. We had precious pieces of advice when planning our expedition beforehand and then great time with Panthera Expedition team over the 10 days we spent in Ladakh.
I strongly recommend to anyone who would like to discover trekking in Ladakh and wish nothing but to go back there for even more thrilling peak expeditions !

From the initial acclimatising to seeing the Snow Leopard mother and two cubs, Mingyur and his team did not let up. Mingyur and his team of spotters and scanners were out each day at 7 am scouring the hillsides, showing us something interesting. The staff were courteous and ever caring making sure that we wanted for nothing.
Pradeep Hegde was ever fielding questions on photography and nature. And Panchami Gaitonde held all of them together.
From seeing nature to the comforts we came to expect, the team worked tirelessly.
Well done Panthera Expedition. It was a great experience.
