Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement 1 is true

The Gaddis of Himachal Pradesh are a pastoral community who reside in mountainous or hilly areas. When winter begins by the end of September, the high mountains will be covered with snow. So, they move to the low hills of the Siwalik Range. When winter ceases, by April, the snow in the higher mountains begins to melt. They begin their northern march and spend the summer in Lahaul and Spiti for the summer grazing grounds.
