Tibetan Snowcock at Qing-zang Plateau

The Qing-zang Plateau, often referred to as the roof of the world, dominates the landscape of Tibet as one of the highest and most extensive elevated regions on Earth, its immense open grasslands and arid steppe forming the backdrop for sightings of the Tibetan Snowcock. Photographers joining the Tibetan Wildlife of the Qing-Zang Plateau holiday should plan for November, when this high-altitude species can be encountered across the plateau's vast terrain. The scale of the landscape here means patience and a keen eye are essential, as the open steppe offers little cover for either subject or photographer. Come prepared for the demands of shooting at such extreme elevation, on what is truly one of the world's most dramatic highlands.
