Up where Namibia, Botswana and Zambia almost meet, the country swaps its dunes for water - a maze of channels, floodplains and palm-dotted islands you'd swear was the Okavango Delta, which sits just to the south. The difference is how few people you'll share it with - this is the only camp on the island. The tents are raised on stilts with walls that fold right back onto the wetland, so the view does most of the decorating - with not a fence in sight. Days run to game drives, walks and slow hours afloat; nights to long dinners under a sky full of stars.

The Snow Leopard Lodge, the only dedicated wildlife lodge in Ladakh,i s located high in the beautiful village of Ulley in the Sham region of central Ladakh, north of the Indus River, at the head of the valley of the Ulley Chhu at an altitude of about 13,000 feet. It is 2 – 3 hours driving distance west from Leh. Ulley itself is a hamlet of just about 7 houses beyond which are the summer pastures of Yak and Dzo. This is classic ibex country and there are few more evocative sights than a magnificently horned male ibex standing vigil on some impossibly narrow outcropping, a few thousand feet above a plunging cliff. Over the past 10 years this area has been developed for snow leopard tracking and has gained a reputation not just for the high numbers of snow leopards but as one of the best areas to see Ibex, Urial, Wolf, Himalayan Fox, Bearded and Himalayan Griffon Vultures and Golden Eagles.

Starting life as a homestay owned by one of Ladakh’s top snow leopard trackers under the auspices of an innovative programme initiated by the first Director of the Snow Leopard Conservancy India – Rinchen Wangchuk – designed to use tourism as a conservation tool for the preservation of snow leopards and their ecosystem by putting tourism revenue directly into the local community.

Lama Hotel is a huddle of cosy teahouses at 2,480 metres in the Langtang Valley, named for the langur monkeys in the surrounding forest — a perfect first-night stop where dal bhat by the fire and the chance of spotting red pandas in the ancient woodland make for a gentle, enchanting introduction to Nepal's trekking trails.

Langtang offers guests accommodation options which include a variety of local lodges or teahouses. Although majority of these local lodges/ guesthouses are very basic, they offer comfort while you enjoy the beautiful landscape and hiking trails of Langtang.
