People on social media have been blown away by pictures of a snow leopard in the Himalayas. The pictures were taken in Nepal’s remote Khumbu Valley by US-based photographer Kittiya Pawlowski. The snow leopard is one of the most mysterious animals in the world.
It is also called the “Ghosts of the Mountains,” and the photographer said he walked almost 165 kilometers to find it. She tells the story of her trip to find the snow leopard by posting beautiful pictures of it on Instagram. “A snow leopard sits on top of a chasm above Phantom Alley, a field of ice pinnacles,” she wrote.
Pawlowski took pictures of the snow leopard against the bright, snow-covered mountains of Nepal. Her pictures are unique because the rays of the full moon reflect off the snow and give them a mysterious feel. This makes the pictures more interesting to look at. The same pictures have also been used by government agencies like the US Embassy in Nepal and magazines like Animal Planet.
