Nomadism in Nepal

I was super excited to learn about nomadism in Nepal. Nepal (LDC) is located in Southern Asia. Pastoral nomadism is a form of subsistence agriculture based on herding domesticated animals, animals that have been accustomed to human provision and control. Nomads depend on animals, rather than crops, for survival. Some nomads practice transhumance, which is the seasonal movement of human groups. The animals that nomads select are chosen based on physical characteristics and culture. Nomads do not participate in much advertising, so, although their branch of agriculture is very interesting, I will not be considering this specific type of farming.

Strengths: lots of precipitation is not necessary

Challenges: declining due to technology, governments frown upon pastoral nomadism
