Changpa

Changpa

Three-year-old Karma's face exhibits the hardships heaped on his tribe -- the nomadic Changpa of Ladakh's Changtang plateau -- by the vagaries of weather. A desert at 16,000 feet, the Changtang witnesses extremes of temperature, which peak at close to 50C in summer and minus 40C in winter. Temperatures between day and night often fluctuate by more than 25C in summer.
