In Laddakh, people live in small villages in the valleys of the mountains. Stone and brick houses can be seen in some fertile plots called Khangpa in local language. The flat roof of the houses is used to collect fodder for cattle. Mostly the people of Laddakh wear woollen clothes throughout the year. Due to extreme cold the people drink a not beverage called Chang to keep their body warm. All the rivers of Laddakh freeze in winter and become a path to move for the people. But today people are adopting new lifestyles and are moving towards urban cities.
