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 & most extensive elevated regions on Earth, its immense open grasslands & 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.
