Pashmina goats of Ladakh with the mountainous nature of the region variety in the background. The Changthangi or Pashmina goat is a breed of goat from Tibet or neighbouring areas in Ladakhi Changthang. Usually raised for meat or cashmere wool (known as pashmina once woven). These goats grow a thick, warm fleece. They survive on grass in Ladakh, where temperatures plunge to as low as −20 °C (−4.00 °F). These goats provide the wool for Kashmir's famous Pashmina shawls.
