The Tibetan red fox is a known species found primarily within the elevated grasslands of Gilgit-Baltistan, specifically Ghanche District's plateau regions and high pastures during winter months (November to February). Accessible only via trekking due to its remote habitat. Sightings are rare but possible in these colder seasons as they tend to descend slightly lower for prey sources at this time of year, making them more visible among the snowy landscapes compared with their usual elusive nature during other periods when resting within burrows or hunting pikas on high altitudes above.
