“Faith”. Weathered old hands full of history and character clutch prayer beads during an important Buddhist festival in Ladkah. These hands belong to a nomadic woman who has travelled a long way by foot with her family and her herd to attend this festival. They are known as Chang-pa herdspeople, or Tibetan plateau nomadic herdspeople. Living life off of the land is physically demanding at these altitudes. This area is thought to be the highest cultivated land in the world. Summer is short, winter is long. The Chang-pa people travel from plain to plain, allowing their animals to graze. Location: Tsomoriri Lake, Ladakh, India. (Photo and caption by Stephen Harrold/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
