Pallas's cat (manul) tour
Pallas's cat watching and photographing tour (5-7 days)
Pallas’s cats are well adapted to the cold, arid environment found in the Eastern Steppe Ecosystem of Mongolia. The area appears to have a very high density of this highly sought-after cat. Predominantly crepuscular (active at dusk and dawn), these cats can be active at any time of the day in winter.
Our time will be focused on both birding and mammal watching with a strong focus on trying to watch Pallas’s cat. In the breeding season, we can see kittens while waiting for their mother to return, learning by playing. They begin to follow their instincts and attempt to playfully catch anything that moves. Also, while we are observing the cat, we can hear a female cat calling their kittens after returning from hunting and the kittens respond in the vast steppe.
