Changra goats in Ladakh

It all starts in Ladakh. The Changhthanghi mountain is at a high altitude. The temperature goes to a minimum of -20°C in winter. The winter is harshest in Changhthanghi. A rare species of Goats called Changra Goats dwell at the feet of Changhthanghi. The habitat and climate of Changhthanghi propel them to develop a thick undercoat of wool. The Changra goats develop wool on their bodies especially behind the ears, on the neck and under the belly. Changra goats are medium-sized goats with twisted horns. The Goats are herded and grazed by the Changpa tribe of Changhthanghi. The goats shed off the Wool in summer to let the fresh air in. Moreover, the wool is also combed out by Changpa herders. The wool is called Cashmere wool. The Cashmere wool is then packed and transferred to the Valley of Kashmir.

The Changra Goats produce the fine Cashmere wool once every year. Therefore, only around 80 to 170 gms of Ladakhi Cashmere are produced during a year. Therefore, considered the rarest. Also, other breeds of it produce several times more as there is almost 400 million Cashmere eliciting Goats all over the world. Consequently, the production caters to the manufacture of different styles like Men's Pashmina Shawls and Men's Cashmere Scarves.
