The Pangong Craft Center opened its doors in 2015. In partnership with Konchok Stobgais. the center's goal is to provide a living wage to semi-nomadic women in India's High Himalayas along Pangong Lake (15,000ft). We have now trained more than 150 women to handspin and knit cashmere from the goats their families have raised for generations.
