A request

Dear client,

Ladakh is a high-altitude region with a unique flora and fauna. We therefore request our group members to take care of the environment. Please do not litter, unnecessarily disturb the wildlife or drive off the roads. In doing so, you will make sure that future travelers also can enjoy Ladakh's amazing landscape.

We thank you for your understanding, and kind cooperation.

Best regards from Ladakh,

BIRDING IN LADAKH
