Both the Bakarwal’s and the Changpa’s live in the mountains of Jammu and Kashmir. Both of them move from one place to another, and keep on wandering. Both of them are dependent on animals like goat, yak, sheep, etc. They earn their livelihood by selling the wool obtained from these animals. But the main difference between the two is where the Bakarwal’s graze any type of goats and sheep and at any place, the Changpa’s graze only special type of goats, at very high and colder place. This is because at higher and colder places, these goats develop more and softer hair from which the famous pashmina wool is obtained and thus they stay at high mountains even under excessively low temperatures.
