<p>This season, skip the usual lion and tiger safaris, and instead, set out on an adventurous trail to spot interesting and rare animals and birds, at many wildlife sanctuaries and national parks across India</p>

Hemis National Park, Ladakh
The snow leopard trail
If you’re planning a trip to the Himalayas, you must include spotting the elusive snow leopard in your itinerary. This rare animal descends from the snowy Himalayan peaks between May to November, when it’s the ideal season to spot them.
