The Changpa are semi-nomadic pastoralists of the Changthang plateau in Ladakh (not Uttarakhand). They famously rear Changthangi (pashmina) goats that yield the fine pashmina fibre, and the tribe is listed among the Scheduled Tribes of the former state of Jammu & Kashmir. Thus Statements 2 and 3 are correct, while Statement 1 is incorrect. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changpa?utm_source=openai))
