Laudakia tuberculata (Kashmir rock agama or tuberculated agama) is a species of agamid lizard found in northern Pakistan, northern India (W Himalaya, Kashmir, Punjab), Nepal, eastern Afghanistan (needs confirmation), and western China (Tibetan Plateau).
"Head much depressed; snout longer than the diameter of the orbit; nostril lateral, below the canthus rostralis, slightly tubular. Upper-head scales smooth or feebly keeled: occipital not enlarged; small, closely set spinose scales on the sides of the head near the ear and the neck; ear entirely exposed, larger than the eye-opening. Throat strongly plicate; no gular pouch. Body depressed, with a more or less distinct fold on each side of the back; scales on the neck and sides minute, almost granular, keeled, uniform, or intermixed with scattered enlarged scales; those on the vertebral region enlarged, equal, rhomboidal, imbricate, strongly keeled; a very slight indication of a nuchal denticulation; ventral scales smooth, nearly as large as the enlarged dorsals. Limbs strong, with compressed digits; the scales on the upper surface of the limbs much enlarged and very strongly keeled; third and fourth fingers equal,... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Kashmir Rock Agama sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Kashmir Rock Agama in Langtang National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and November, the lowest months. That is one of Langtang National Park's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain against 10 mm in November. July to September have too few records to rate.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Kashmir Rock Agama sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Langtang National Park, in our data
Langtang National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Kashmir Rock Agama sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kashmir Rock Agama is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Langtang National Park (12 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
