The Gujjar cattle herders live in Garhwal and Kumaon. During winter, they come down to the dry forests of the bhabar. During summer, they go up to the high meadows, the bugyals. Many of them migrated from Jammu to the hills of UP in the nineteenth century. Bhotiyas, Sherpas and Kinnauris are some other pastoral communities of the Himalayas that also follow the cyclical movement between and summer and winter pastures. The Gaddis spend winter in the low hills of Shiwalik. By April, they move towards north to spend summers in Lahul and Spiti.
