Snow Leopard at Khunjerab National Park

The Khunjerab National Park is famous for its snow leopards. Some reports say that it might contain the highest density of these beautiful cats in the total Himalayan ecosystem, which is the natural habitat of these cats. We stop at the ingress of the park to pay a token fee. There they hold a baby Markhor which is being treated for the injuries. Moving around a little we also noticed a snow leopard in a coop. The security person stationed at the park told us that they have rescued this leopard cub from the icy river water from drowning, as it was separated from its herd. And today they are taking good care of him and will leave him back on the mountain as soon as it reached a young age.
