Snow Leopards and Pallas’s Cats Photo Workshop

Photograph two of the world’s rarest and most beautiful wild cats in Mongolia

The Snow leopard and Pallas’s cat are two of Earth’s least photographed wild cats. We’ll travel to the remote western region of Mongolia to seek nature’s grumpiest cat, the Pallas’s cat, also called a manul. We will also look for the ghost cat, the Snow leopard.

This workshop in Mongolia is led by experienced wildlife photographers and local trackers who are skilled at locating wild cats. We will spend long hours in the field to maximize our chances of an encounter. However, recognize that spotting the elusive snow leopard is not guaranteed.
