The last nomads of Nepal I'm going to introduce you all about the Nomads group of Nepal. They are assets of our country. They are amazing people. They have music, art skills and unique dance and political system but they don't want life like our's, full of responsibility, education, internet e.t.c. Raute are the last nomadic ethnic group officially recognized by the Government of Nepal. They live at Western jungle of Nepal. They gather wild forest tubers, fruits, and greens on a regular basis. They do not practice commercial agriculture and gardening. They have got the skill of making wooden utensils and carve boxes known as "sanduk".They move from jungle to the residential area to exchange their goods for rice and other food that they need. They don't have their individual property like buildings and land. Their home is jungle. They regard Nature as god. They practice shifting cultivation, they clear down the forest and move to the next place and again they move back after the regeneration. They prefer nomadic life. One of the leaders among the Raute group in the Nepal Television once said "We don't want the burden of agriculture we don't wish to settle down. We want to continue our nomadic way of life. We wish to travel freely and want no harassment in community or government controlled forests,". source of pictures: google image search
