At Snow Leopard Adventures, we encourage the younger generation to take the road less travelled. The myriad experiences in the "Great Himalayan Outdoors" will inspire them in many ways. The experiences of falling asleep to the gurgling sound of the Ganga, of trekking through mossy mountain trails, of visiting an orphanage, of learning to pull together as a team, of discovering friends among strangers – these are all life experiences that are sure to shape the destiny of young minds and our country. Each participant comes away more confident instilled with a spirit of adventure, more considerate and overall, a better citizen. They become LEADERS.
Running its 20th year of operation, Snow Leopard Adventures P Limited, is reputed to be among the best adventure tour operators in India. Be it trekking in the Himalayas, cycling on forest trails or rappelling down a cliff, Snow Leopard Adventures assures you of a safe yet exciting experience. Meticulous planning, tremendous emphasis on safety and "eco-sense" form the foundation of each of our trips. SAFETY and ECO-SENSITIVITY are hallmarks of every Snow Leopard Adventure s Trip.
