Changthang Plateau

Spanning the high-altitude frontier of southeastern Ladakh at an average elevation of over 4,500 meters, the Changthang Plateau is a breathtaking expanse of alpine steppes, shimmering saltwater lakes, and boundless skies. Roamed by indigenous Changpa pastoralists with their Pashmina herds and wild Kiang, it stands as one of the most pristine and soul-stirring landscapes in all of Asia.
