Manul (Pallas’s cat) of Mongolia Tour One 2025 – Trip Report

For our annual manul photo tour, we visited eastern Mongolia for over three weeks, leading three back-to-back manul photo tours. For this trip report, we are highlighting the events of our first tour, where we saw two different Pallas’s cat families, mostly spending time with a mom we named Nutella, and her three four week old kittens. Hear her story and see some manul kitten photos in this report!

My wife, Rachel, and I own and lead tours for Cat Expeditions and Whale Expeditions, bringing people eye-to-eye with wild cats and cetaceans. We care deeply about providing extraordinary experiences for our guests, prioritize small group tours for intimate interactions, insist on ethical photography and tourism, putting the welfare of the wildlife first. Conservation is the backbone of our beliefs and our business, and we give 10-20% of our tour costs to local conservation projects. We select tour locations in places that provide and support economic incentives for local communities to own and steward long-term conservation. When I am not leading tours, I work as a conservation photographer for NGOs, telling stories about wild cats and their threats.
