The hardy Changpa nomads
Unlike other nomads, the Changpas don’t move to different climatic regions with the change in the seasons. As the vegetation is sparse, they need to move every few months, so their range is limited to about 40-50kms. They follow the same migratory routes each year and stay at fixed camps. The Changpas name their kids only after they are 2 years old. Before that the girls are called cho-cho and the boys no-no
