Patterns of Migration

Migration patterns in Himachal Pradesh reflect the varied ways pastoralists navigate the mountain landscape, shaped by terrain, local grazing practices and access to pastures. While some follow established routes across mountain ranges, others move within smaller landscapes, adapting their journeys to seasonal conditions and the needs of their herds. These movements are not isolated journeys but interconnected networks of routes, passes and grazing grounds that have evolved through generations of pastoral practice.
