To understand the landscape of Himachal Pradesh is to follow the seasonal footprints of its pastoralists. Here, mobility is not simply a choice, but a finely tuned negotiation with altitude, weather and rugged topography, where arable land is scarce. As the mountains rise, the landscape transforms, and with it, the entire world of the shepherd.
