Changpa Nomad Camps
Summer pastures of the Changpa nomads on the Changthang Plateau, where you can visit yak-hair tents, watch milking, and see pashmina wool being gathered.
The Changpa are nomadic herders of Ladakh's Changthang Plateau, raising pashmina goats, sheep, and yaks. In summer they camp on high pastures around Tso Moriri, Puga, and Tso Kar, moving to lower ground in winter. Homestay hosts or guides in Korzok can arrange visits to nearby camps (locations shift with the seasons). You can see black yak-hair tents, drink butter tea, and watch goats being combed for their fine down. Always ask permission before visiting, politely request consent before photographing people, and consider bringing daily necessities as a gift.
