In Search of Snow Leopards - Chasing Shadows

Snow leopards are the most secretive and least understood of all the great cats. In Spiti Valley's stunning high-altitude desert landscape we reveal their fascinating life.

Over five years, the Bedi Brothers follow the dominant male Karma and his harem of few females and witness the snow leopards in action: scent-marking, courtship, mating, hunting, and feeding. But with the death of Karma everything changes and a new ruler arrives: Namka. We not only get to see groundbreaking and never before seen footage of snow leopards, but also of the Himalayan Ibex, blue sheep, red fox, golden eagle, griffon vulture and snowcock, who call the rugged landscapes their home too.
