Solution

The Gujjar Bakarwals of Jammu and Kashmir migrated in the nineteenth century in search of pastures for their animals. Gradually, they established themselves over the decades. They annually move between their summer and winter grazing grounds. In winter they move their herds to low hills in search of dry forests as it provides pasture for their herds. And in summer, the snow melted mountainsides are filled with lush green grasses that provide rich nutritious food for the herds.

The Gaddi shepherds of Himachal Pradesh had a similar cycle of seasonal movement. They too spent their winter in the low hills of Siwalik range and in summer they move north and spent the summer in Lahul and Spiti.

Pastoral Nomads in the villages of Lahul and Spiti, reap their summer harvest and sow their winter crop. And in winter the Siwalik Hills are their gazing grounds.

The Gujjar cattle hearders in Garhwal and Kumaon, travel down to the dry forests of the bhabar and in the winter, and went up to the high meadows in bugyals.

There are many tribal communities in Himalayas like Bhotiyas, Sherpas and Kinnauris that originally travel from Jammu and came to the UP hills in the in search of good pastures and continue the same movement between summer and winter.

Dhangars from Maharashtra earn their living as shepherds and blanket weavers they stay in central plateau of Maharashtra during the monsoon and sow crops like Bajara and by October the Dhangars harvest and move west and by March reach Konkan.
