Question

Name any two pastoral communities that move between their winter and summer pastures in the Himalayans. How do they adjust to the seasonal changes?

Answer 1

the two pastoral communities that move from one place to another in the season of winter and summer both in himlayas are :-

1) Gujjar Bakarwals in Jammu and Kashmir.

2) bhotiyas.

Winter :

When the high mountains were covered with snow and there was lack of pastures at the high altitude, they moved to low hills of the Shiwalik. The dry scrub forests here provided pastures for their herds. By the end of April, they began their northern march for their summer grazing grounds.

Summer :

With the onset of summer, the snow melted and the mountain sides became lush green. By the end of September, the Bakarwals started their backward journey.
