Changthang, known as the “Northern Plateau,” is a high-altitude region in Ladakh, India, extending into Tibet. Situated over 4,000 meters above sea level, it features vast grasslands, pristine lakes like Tso Moriri and Pangong Tso, and a rugged, breathtaking landscape. Home to the Changpa nomads, the region is renowned for Pashmina wool, derived from their goats. Changthang’s biodiversity includes rare species like the Tibetan wild ass (Kiang) and black-necked cranes. Despite its harsh climate and isolation, it offers unmatched serenity and is a haven for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those looking to explore Ladakh’s cultural and natural richness.
