Historical, Cultural Experiences & Spiritual Significance of Changthang

  • Home of the Changpa Tribes:
    The Changthang Plateau has been home to the Changpa nomads for centuries. They are known for their semi-nomadic lifestyle and for producing the world’s finest pashmina wool.

  • Spiritual Significance of Lakes:
    For local Ladakhis and Tibetan Buddhists, lakes like Tso Moriri are sacred. Pilgrimages are made to these pristine waters to offer prayers and connect with the spiritual energy of nature.

  • Historic Trade Routes:
    Historically, Changthang was part of the ancient trade routes connecting Ladakh to Tibet, transporting salt, wool, and other goods.

  • Sacred Monasteries:
    Visit the ancient Korzok Monastery near Tso Moriri — one of the highest and oldest monasteries in Ladakh, deeply significant to both the Changpa and Buddhist pilgrims.
