Ladakh to launch India's first high-altitude wildlife safari

Ladakh is set to launch India's first high-altitude wildlife safari as part of a new eco-tourism initiative approved by the region's Lieutenant Governor. The project aims to promote sustainable tourism while leveraging Ladakh's unique wildlife and landscape.

As part of the scheme, 20 local youths will be selected and trained in birdwatching, bird identification and bird-spotting skills. The trainees will be equipped with binoculars to facilitate wildlife observation and guide visitors through the safari experience.
