Though killing is strictly prohibited in buddhism but living in plateau above 4500 meter where no vegetation grows.... The only survival option left for the nomads of ladakh,Tibet and mongolia is relying on meat products.......but still nomads try as much as possible not to kill animals..... Hope people will understand this...
Narayan Bose Yeah brother it is just my way of conveying the voice of ladakh..which is most often neglected and whose geopolitical influence is largely undermined.....it is located on the border between pakistan and china... And most importantly it can serve as a india's gateway to central asia....the most famous historical route being leh to kashgar,hotan and from there to kyrgyszstan and uzbekistan...
Yes you are right.It is not like other parts of India where vegetations are available and still fishing and having meat, chickens for fun.Even Indians are making chutneys of ants. How ridiculous these people are?
It’s very intriguing that you showed the wheel of life in this video. One theory is that we are already in a pseudo hungry ghost realm, as we can can see that the society is consumed with consumerism. No matter how much junk one buys one is never satisfied, only hungers for more..... the greed has become greater than need and it is a bottomless bucket which can’t be filled while life is whiled away . Btw am from Ladakh, shamm side. Your videos do justice to the beauty of all the landscapes you have captured. Ladakh and spiti. Good luck!
I absolutely loved the quotes in between Not to take away from the spectacular video that you have captured and the honesty in your voice/narration. Keep the curiosity alive and vicarious lives of your viewers
Very interesting. Thanks for chiming in Karma. I share your beliefs as well. And I'm glad you enjoyed my videos. I haven't been to the Sham side yet, probably might come visit this autumn. I saw some pictures of the Losar celebrations there and I'm really intrigued.
Dude You are way better than National Geographic...You have lived a very good life which many just desire everyday... Everyone loves to witness the lives of people this closely but actually very few actually end up doing something like this. You have not just got a subscriber today but also a fan. I will watch all your videos. I would just like to salute you dedication for your passion. Please let nothing stop you from filming like this not only in India but I would suggest you go cover whole world. I really salute you.... God bless you always...may you keep camping and hiking and documenting for 100's of years... Good job 👍
Worth setting a reminder for this video. Man you deserve more views and more subscribers. I felt like i was watching nat geo like i use to do in my childhood days.
Thanks for making such an awesome video on Changpa. Coming from Changthang I know how hard Changpa's life is and you have very beautifully shown in these videos.
wow! you have an art to make us travel in the time by showing such unique places, people and their customs in your very well executed/edited videos. Bravo!!
Thank you. Yes, this was the hardest video to make in the entire series. Mostly because of the research needed to understand their rituals and customs. A lot of people helped me on this. And funnily even my Ladakhi friends did not understand all the concepts, they had to check with their parents and grandparents to get the info. It was amazing how some total strangers came forward to help me!
@@indiainmotion when there is a will, there is a way.. I belong to the hills of Himachal Pradesh and so a lil but I have the idea, how hard to make ppl realise that what are you gonna do n especially when they are of different culture.. But all above you did splendid camera work plus many things to learn from this concept of yours.. Thanks man
Yes. I wanted to break the monotony of long narrations with those quotes. Luckily I found a great collection of Tibetan quotes. Now I'm on the lookout for quotes from the other pahadi cultures as well.
Thank you for sharing your lovely videos. It's very touching to see how people struggles in village life especially in remote and cold mountains. Keep up your great work💪🏼
The fluttering of dhaja has its own beauty and chaang or chyang as we call it here is something we are allowed to drink without any restriction during gurung losar
Considering their circumstances, harsh climate and altitude it is survival that understandably compels them to follow this way of life. It seems that their faith serves as an anchor to keep them going through their daily struggles. Very insightful, enjoyed the snippets of singing. The tibetan sayings have taken it to the next level...thank you 🙏
Yes, they were born into this life. Now, perhaps their youngsters have to choice to lead a different life if they want to, but it was never an option for their parents or grandparents.
Unlike others vloggers ... brother did i a good reasearch and quite in details .......i am sure it aint easy ....takes a lot ,patient, peace of mind to learn and go into details to other some other culture ... The rituals, wheels of life , Thorma rituals, who the dieties are , names, purpose ... Very good work Bro ...keep up👍
I would've never known about the Changpas if there were no INDIA IN MOTION. I thankyou from the bottom of my heart and hope and pray to see more fruits of your efforts.
Hats off to you 👍. All these years you have been bringing these fabulous stories, marvelous work with your grit and dedication. The slow mo was beautiful. The changpas throwing flour shows happiness and joy, whatever be the day. Thank you. God bless you and keeps you safe always. Salute friend (if I am allowed to address you as such, our areas of interest are somewhat similar. )
Thumbs up and Subscribed! Congratulations and thank you for the beautiful recording of a way of life that is so environmentally sustainable and respectful. Sadly it's slowly disappearing. They spoken sounds more of Tibetan dialect from Ngari than Ladhaki. Also can't help notice photo of HH Dalai Lama in their altar. I wonder how far this location is to the Tibetan border and also wonder how the way of life is across the border on the Tibetan side. I am afraid, China being super micro-manager has completely changed in the name of modernization on the other side. So in that respect kudos to India in respecting the local culture yet allowing children to get education in Leh and option to choose live the modern life.
This place is not too far from Tibet. Maybe be 2 days walk away. And there are Tibetan people living here as well. 2 out of the 4 settlements in the area are Tibetan.
Lobsang Dorjee Yes true ladakhi spoken here in southern part is closer to ngari dialect it is also called changskat... While the ladakhi language spoken in Northern part of ladakh in nubra,sham,kargil is similar to balti language of baltistan,pakistan... Same goes to the race...while people living in this part look very much tibetans....but people living in Northern areas such as batalik are dards also called aryans...
@@believer1465 only Kargil is similar to the Balti language...Nubra and sham skat is totally different from Balti and its more likely to sino tibetan language
@@indiainmotion hope so brother....I have seen some documentaries of Mongolia where they celebrate there festival with horse race ...is this video of that kind ??
@@bonecollector5242 Changpas of ladakh have not fled Tibet, however, Changpa who fled Tibet are also living there in Changthang. Changpas are the dwellers of the Changthang area which consists of Eastern ladakh and western Tibet.
Thank you so much for these videos, really incredible. Do you know what mantra / sutra they are reciting in this video? I would like to know the specific mantras / scripture they commonly recite
Beautiful.. I am finding it hard to keep my mind engaged with the captions.. It would be nice to keep the captions really small, descriptive and reduce their number.. Your channel intro video is perfect example..
Pls shoot the life of nepal , mehgalaya, nagaland also. Your videos are the best story telling and what a director of photography you are just excellent.
Too many places and too little time. I just don't want to do around and shoot videos just for the sake of shooting those videos. My main motivation is to connect with the people and experience their lives for myself. And that takes a lot of time.
Though I appreciate ur work.It's really inspiring but I wanna clear one thing for u n ur viewers so they might not get wrong idea about Buddhism or changpas as u have mentioned at the starting about being a Buddhist and selling Nd eating animals ... Firstly, as we all know it's normal food chain to consume one another according to scientific or survival perspective but if see through religious way, it seems unright. Buddhism as u know teach nonviolence Nd no killing n harming to others even if it's animals or insect.... But being a changpa and a Buddhist is quite hard. Their prime desire is to survive like any other people or living orgs. on this planet. Not killing an animal or eating one doesn't make one a true Buddhist if u don't have the inner quality, compassion Nd kindness towards other sentient being . And I, myself never say that I'm true buddhist just because I m not consuming non-veg. If I had to be that true strict follower of Buddha,I ryt now should be in solitude meditating nd following 8 fold path Nd not holding this phone Nd typing all these. So what I meant to say is, that these changpas survival is based on their animal and if they don't sell nd eat, their life will end in that inhospitable high altitude where vegetation is almost nill . And plus buddhist religion came later in their life.( Fyi : they themselves don't kill their animals any time they want to but they kill when they need to. And when they sacrifice their animal they pray for that animal which is giving it's life so that the family who was taking care up untill now to be surviving) Their life style is not much indifferent from the farmers who raise crop Nd cut them. Following religion and living worldly life is quiet hard.so they r balancing it...... my comment is just a knowledge being added about the beautiful documentary u have made so don't Think it as a negative feedback ✌☺

After I watch your videos, I am planning to visit Ladakh this September! Beautiful landscapes and so inspiring! :)
Brother u deserve millions and millions views
The simple joy in their eyes is unmistakable.
The new format with small text captions in between the video clips is a great idea. Keeps audience pinned.
Great job!

Magnificent beautiful😍 ....are the inscriptions originally from you? They are like poems
They are old Tibetan proverbs
They are deep but so.nicely worded some I understand not all but I'll get it 😉
Balance between Buddhism and killing for survival... Waiting..

Changpas are found in changthang area of ladakh.They are nomads and it is colder place.
