I am Rafael Kettsyan, a professional wildlife photographer, traveler, explorer and guide to the land of the snow leopard.

I have been studying and researching snow leopards for over 25 years and have been photographing these amazing animals for over 20 years. In Central Asia, snow leopards are respectfully called the "Spirit of the Mountains" or "The Master of the Snowy Peaks", that is why  the site features photos of snow leopards and incredible views of nature. It's dedicated for the snow leopard land.

I travel a lot in the land of the snow leopard, I travel around the world, observe, photograph and publish photos on my website, as well as organize photo expeditions and educational tours to India, the Himalayas.


I consider it my goal to convey a deep love for nature and endangered species of animals - snow leopards, to make all other people fall in love with them!
