The correct answer is Option B: Ladakh. Ladakh approved India’s first guided high-altitude wildlife safari on 6 August 2026, focusing on snow leopard and bird-watching trails. The high-altitude wildlife safari will cover areas including Hemis National Park, Changthang, Karakoram Wildlife Sanctuary, Nubra, Zanskar, Sham, Kargil and Drass. The safari will use specially designed open-back jeep vehicles, operated only by trained local drivers and guides. The decision to launch the safari was taken during the first governing body meeting of the Snow Leopard and High-Altitude Nature Conservation Society (SHAN Conservation Society). Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena chaired the first governing body meeting of the SHAN Conservation Society. Ladakh hosts 477 of India’s estimated 718 snow leopards and has around 1,800 vascular plant species, 340 bird species and more than 38 mammal species. The Ladakh administration will train 20 local youths in birdwatching and wildlife interpretation and construct 10 bird-watching hides at ecological hotspots.
