Silent, solitary and beautiful: snow leopards inhabit the cliffs and rugged mountains of central Asia at heights of over 3,000 metres. Thickly furred, with silver-grey pelts, they are so well camouflaged that they vanish into the rocky landscape.
The biologist and scientist Kulbhushansingh Suryawanshi - Kullu for short - has spent twenty years studying these elusive creatures in the mountainous wild, exploring their daily challenges, habitats and prey. Living for months at a time in some of the most difficult to reach places on earth, including Himalayan villages cut off from the world by the winter snow and the Gobi Desert, Kullu has developed new research that shines fresh light on these charismatic and vulnerable animals, and shows how entangled their survival is with the local people.
Combining expert authority, groundbreaking science, a journey of discovery and storytelling of the highest order, The Ghost of the Mountains is a unique opportunity to see the world through the eyes of the snow leopard.
