1. The Gaddi shepherds of Himachal Pradesh are a good example. They spend their winter in the low hills of the Shivalik range. Their cattle graze in the scrub forests.

2. As summer approaches (i.e. sometime in April) they move north to Lahul and Spiti. They stay there with their cattle. Some of them even move to higher altitudes as the snow melts. As the summer ends by September they begin their return journey.

3. Their return journey is interrupted in the villages of Lahul and Spiti where they reap their summer harvest and sow their winter crop. They then go down to the Sivalik hills where they stay for the winter. Next April their journey to the north begins again.

4. The Gujjar Bakarwals of Jammu and Kashmir also follow the same pattern. During winters they stay in the low Sivalik hills with their herds. The dry scrub forests provide fodder for their cattle. As summer approaches (i.e. by April) they gather for their journey to the valley of Kashmir.

5. They cross the Pir Panjal passes and reach the lush green mountainside. They stay here with their cattle till winter approaches (i.e. by September).
