what do you know about the pastoral nomads
People who moved from one place to another, as a community, with all their belongings, were  called nomads. these nomads moved from place to place in search of food and a livelihood. The nomadic pastoralists had herds of goats and sheep, or camels and cattle.Finding pasture for their herds was the main purpose of their constant movement.

The nomads  moved between their summer and winter grazing grounds.In winter they normally lived on the low hills and the dry scrub forests provided pasture for their herds.During summer that is by the end of April the nomads packed their belonging, round up their herd and start trekking towards northern mountains.As the snow melted  the mountain converted into carpets of lush green grass. This provide ample lush green grass for their herds.

The nomadic pastoralists thus moved annually between their summer and winter grazing grounds. The continuous movement of the nomads with their grazing herds ensured that the natural pastures not over used. The movement allowed the grass and foliage to grow and preserved the environment
