Wild Close Up

The Himalayan Marmot, found on the way to Pangong Tso (Lake), Ladakh.


The Himalayan Marmots come across as just the right species you may want to cuddle up in bed to stay warm in the cold climates of Ladakh. But these mammals belonging to the rodent family are quick in retreating into their burrows at the slightest hint of human approach.

However, one set of five decided some publicity may be good for them and put on a show for us. All we needed was a packet of dryfruits to keep them busy while I captured some of the rare Ladakhi Wildlife.
