Tibetan Wild Ass (Kiang)

The Kiang is the world's largest wild ass species, found in the Changthang plateau of eastern Ladakh. Herds of hundreds move freely across the vast high-altitude grasslands at 4,000–5,000 metres. Tso Moriri Lake and the Changtang Wildlife Sanctuary are prime locations for large herd encounters. See Kiang (Tibetan Wild Ass) herds on Ladakh's Changthang plateau.

Plan field days around Jun–Sep: light is often strongest at dawn and dusk, when many mammals and birds are most active. Work with a naturalist who knows local movement patterns — they will position you ethically while improving your odds of a encounter in Tso Kar Wetland Complex.
