-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Have you ever wondered where the luxurious Pashmina fabric originates?

In the stark, wind-swept expanses of Ladakh, the nomadic Changpa community tends to the resilient Changthangi goats. These animals, known locally as Changra, endure freezing altitudes, growing a rare, downy undercoat—often called ‘soft gold’—beneath their rugged exterior.

For centuries, Pashmina has been cherished for its extraordinary softness, warmth, and strength.

But Ladakh’s intangible cultural heritage comprises much else. It continues—gracefully, rhythmically—in Jabro, the traditional nomadic dance of the Changthang and Rong valleys. Performed by Tibetan-origin herders, Jabro embodies movement, memory, and the enduring spirit of life in the high Himalayas.
