The Pashmina goat is a breed of goat native to the high altitudes of the Himalayas, particularly in regions like Ladakh in India and Nepal. These goats are known for their fine, soft wool, which is used to make luxurious Pashmina shawls. The wool is collected during the molting season, when the goats naturally shed their undercoat. Pashmina goats are well-adapted to harsh climates, thriving in cold temperatures and rugged terrains. They are typically small in size, with a sturdy build that helps them navigate their mountainous habitat. The unique quality of their wool makes them highly valued in the textile industry.
