Shangri-La

The Khampas are a proud and high-spirited people with a great sense of
humor and a love of singing and dancing. Women adorn their heavily
plaited hair with ornaments and precious stones while the handsome
Khampa men have a red silk tassel wound into their braided hair, with
their chubas worn carelessly over one shoulder, and a silver sword in
their belt. Equestrian skills are learnt from an early age and are put
to the test at the annual Horse Festivals when the Khampa horses are
decorated with bells and colourful ribbons, whilst their owners parade
in gorgeous costumes appropriate to their region. Please visit
