Answer:

Farming in Nepalese Mountains

Mountain

In the high hills or mountain areas people are influenced by Tibetan culture and Thakalis, Sherpas and Bhotias live in separate, single, ethnic settlements. Climate varies from warm temperate to alpine. Livestock production is based primarily on crops and grazing. Cultivation includes annual crops on rainfed and irrigated land and perennial crops. Grazing includes the migration of ruminant livestock and the utilization of vegetation.

Herds are made up of yaks, chauries (yak-cattle crosses), cattle, sheep, goats and horses, reared in semi-pastoral or transhumant systems. Livestock move in an annual cycle according to their specific requirements and grazing availability at different altitudes. Yaks occupy an ecological niche at high altitudes (3 000 – 5 000 m), chauries move between 1 500 – 4 000 m, while cattle move between 2 000 and 3 000 m. Sheep, goats and horses are more adaptable to altitude and move between 1 200 – 4 000 m. Plant growth is limited by low temperatures and a short growing season. Barley, buckwheat and potato are the major crops. Pasture at high altitudes is only accessible for grazing in summer (July – September). Thereafter herds move to lower areas for winter (December – March); yaks, however, which are only adapted to cold conditions, are seldom taken below 2 500 m.

Livestock provide milk and fiber and their dung is a major source of fuel. Crossbred males are used for transport and meat. Goats and sheep supply meat and fiber. The use of mules, sheep and goats for trading and transport of basic inputs (grain, salt, building materials, etc.) is an important source of income

Answer:

the land of terai is more fertile in comparison to hill and mountain region.Also terai region is the most developed among other regions so modern farming and use of modern agricultural equipments is possible which increases the production.The people in hill and mountain mainly depend on rain water for irrigation but there are several irrigation projects running in terai region to increase production. Due to the difficult topography modern technology cannot be used for farming in hill and terai so the it takes more work and time in those regions.
