Snow Leopard Lodge Ladakh
Snow Leopard Lodge Ulley is a dedicated wildlife lodge in the remote village of Ulley in West Ladakh.
About Snow Leopard Lodge
Snow Leopard Lodge Ulley began as a homestay and developed into one of Ladakh's dedicated wildlife lodges. The lodge was created around the idea of using wildlife tourism to support local communities and conservation of the region's snow leopards and their habitat.
Located at around 13,000 feet in Ulley Valley, the lodge looks across a remote Trans-Himalayan landscape where snow leopards, ibex, urial, Tibetan wolves, Himalayan foxes and several birds of prey can be found.
The lodge works with experienced trackers and naturalists who use local wildlife information, tracks and field observations to locate animals across the surrounding valleys.
Accommodation
Snow Leopard Lodge Ulley offers 10 ensuite twin-bedded rooms designed for comfort in the high-altitude environment.
The rooms are centrally heated and have large windows with views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Ensuite bathrooms have hot and cold running water, showers and modern toilets.
