Himalayan Marmot at Qing-zang Plateau

The Qing-zang Plateau, often called the roof of the world, stretches across Tibet as one of the highest and most extensive elevated regions on Earth, its immense open grasslands and arid steppe forming a fittingly dramatic backdrop for photographing Himalayan Marmots. Travelling with NaturesLens on the Tibetan Wildlife of the Qing-Zang Plateau holiday in November gives photographers the chance to work this striking high-altitude terrain. The scale of the landscape here rewards patience, allowing time to compose images that place the marmots within the vastness of the plateau. It's a rare opportunity to capture a species so closely tied to one of the world's great highland environments.
