Nepal is a country filled with multi-cultural, multi-linguistic, multiethnic, and varied bio-diversity which offers various flavors of experiences to the people from the outside world.
In this small country, there are 125 ethnic groups of people speaking 124 different languages where one can find various cultures, nature, the floras and faunas, and the vegetation.
Nomads (Nepali name: Rautes) along with other indigenous groups (Chepang).
Rautes are a unique ethnic group denying any idea of permanent settlement, education or agriculture. They are the only nomadic people in the country who never settle permanently in any particular place.
They fulfill their necessities by bartering their wooden pottery and traditional crafts for food-grains with the local people and also engage in monkey hunting while adopting forest life.
Rautes are totally dependent on forest resources for their livelihood even in this modern age; they are considered an important part of biodiversity.
The main habitat of this community is in the hills of mid-western part of Nepal roaming around Salyan, Acchaam, Dailekh, Jajarkot and Surkhet district.
