The snow leopard is a rare animal of immense beauty. But so elusive is the snow leopard that it is often referred to as the Grey Ghost of the Himalaya. Joining a team of ecologists and explorers, Vikram and Aditya set off on an expedition to the Zanskar Mountains of Ladakh to search for the fabled leopard. The saga of Tsering, the young lama, continues in this story. Despite having being thwarted by Vikram and Aditya, his kidnappers are not about to give in.

Camping under glaciers, tramping above the snowline, searching for blue sheep and the magnificent leopard - The Snow Leopard Adventure is a riveting story set amidst soaring mountains and deep valleys.

4. Ranthambore Adventure :

Ranthambore Adventure is about tigers. Its is the story that is inspiring children across India to work towards saving the tiger and the countrys rapidly disappearing forests.

When Aditya attempts to lay his hands on the diary of a ruthless tiger poacher, little does he know the events his actions will trigger. His ill-fated endeavour plunges Vikram and Aarti into a thrilling adventure that climaxes at the magnificent game park of Ranthambore.

Ranthambore Adventure also narrates the story of the tiger, Genghis. Brimming with tiger-lore, it traces the moments of Genghiss life- from his birth as a fluffy, helpless ball of fur, to his emergence as a proud and powerful predator. But vicious, greedy humans infiltrate his kingdom, seeking his skin and bones...
