Himalayan communities

Himalayan communities are diverse groups living in the mountainous regions of countries like Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Tibet. They traditionally depend on agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade, adapted to the rugged terrain and high altitudes. Many practices and cultures are shaped by their environment, with unique languages, religions, and customs. These communities often rely on terraced farming, monasteries, and local markets. Despite challenges like limited accessibility and climate change, they maintain rich cultural traditions and deep spiritual connections to the mountains, illustrating resilience and a harmonious relationship with their environment.
