Gyamo: Queen of the Mountains


Set in the spectacular mountains of Ladakh, this film follows wildlife filmmaking duo Mike and Gautam Pandey on a quest to locate Gyamo – a female snow leopard and her two cubs.

Snow leopards are rare and very difficult to film. They’ve evolved to live and survive in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. The survival of this top predator indicates that a habitat is healthy and biodiverse.

Gyamo - the female snow leopard and her 2 cubs haven’t been seen since the big male snow leopard appeared.

The father son wildlife filmmaker duo Mike and Gautam return to the same mountain to pick up their trail and find the cubs. Exploring this amazing landscape they discover there are many challenges that surround this endangered cat.

The territory of the Snow leopard goes beyond the borders of India across many countries and possibly cover over 2 million square kilometers of the himalayan ranges. But these borders are just for us. The snow leopard knows no boundaries and she moves for miles in search of prey, a mate and a home to protect her cubs.

To truly understand the snow leopard and the challenges it faces today it is imperative to understand the local culture and the people who share its home.
