Changthama

This is Changthama - a special breed of goats that produce the finest and rarest Cashmere wool in the world.

 

Interestingly, the harsh weather conditions of the remote Changthang region, and the nutritious plants located in high altitude are what is essential for producing the finest Cashmere.

 

The Changpa tribes will also chant while herding the sheep. Chanting is used to accumulate wisdom and merit and to also purify negativity.
