These photos have been taken during several treks in the area. Rupshu, otherwise known as Changthang, is the western most extension of the plateau of the same name that occupies a large part of Tibet. The most notable physical features are the beautiful high-altitude lakes at around 4,000mts. The area has almost no permanent villages but is populated by the Changpa nomads with their large herds of yaks and flocks of Pashmina goats and sheep. Wide and mostly open with immense deep blue skies it does feel to be the roof of the world.
