Tailing the Ghost

The Snow Leopard Track is an ambitious conceptual route that traces a high traverse between Eastern Nepal and Northern Kyrgyzstan. The trail seeks the wildest passages through the terrain therein, ranging along its course through desolate high-altitude deserts, dense subtropical rainforests, vast icefields, serpentine waterways, and verdant alpine pastures.

The trail's nature is circumambulatory and reverential, favoring routes unspoiled over those direct. In it is a will to foster conscious stewardship of the delicate ecosystems through which it passes.

Like the eponymous snow leopards from whom this route derives its inspiration, the trail is committed to the highest attainable ground. Without such places both the leopard and the trail cease to be.
