Tranquility descends over Ladakh like a peace treaty the Buddhist monks must have negotiated eons ago, and chastens everyone who comes in contact with it.The arterial roads criss-crossing Ladakh are motorable, flanking the meandering Indus which meets the Zanskar in Ladakh. This confluence heads further to Pakistan. At places, the river is frozen, with sludge protecting its delicate periphery.
The Ladakhi people are friendly, and tend to anthropomorphize and venerate the snow leopard like its human; which explains why they track it so well. They brave out the cold and head out early in the morning with their sophisticated scopes, to track the Ghost of the Himalayas. Distances are not very far, a maximum of 20-25 minutes to get to the 3-4 locations where the leopard is usually spotted.

A photo odyssey with Sara Jenner
For as long as Sara could remember she has had a passion for travel and searching for the wildest and most remote places on earth. Back in the UK when she was only 10, she remembers trading in her favourite pink bicycle for the money to start her travel fund. Every birthday and Christmas she added a little more in the kitty and finally, at 18 she realised her dream of diving at the Great Barrier Reef!
Ever since Sara has been travelling the globe in search of wild and remote places and has spent many months volunteering on wildlife conservation projects in a bid to help endangered species. Sara’s love of wildlife and the great outdoors has taken her to all seven continents. Over the past decade she has travelled extensively in the polar regions working as an Expedition Leader on small vessels in the High Arctic, Antarctica, and Sub Antarctic Islands.
Sara’s love for the wild extends beyond icy landscapes. As a photographic guide in the heart of Botswana, the enchanting realms of East Africa, and the mystical landscapes of India, she truly leads a life of two wondrous halves. With each click of her camera, Sara weaves captivating tales of nature and its untamed inhabitants, crafting exquisite snapshots of life’s most precious moments.
Step into Sara’s world and let her lens transport you to the untamed, where the beauty of wildlife dances in every frame.
