A few examples of dispersed settlements are cottages located on hills, scattered all over the region. Some are found near the hill peaks and others in the hill valleys. Another thing to note about dispersed settlements is that they are often found in regions with challenging topography like hilly tracts, deserts, or mountains or in places that experience extreme climates like in Arctic Tundra regions. Dispersed settlements in India are found in the Thar desert and Ladakh.
