The Raute are Nepal's only remaining nomadic hunter-gatherer tribe

The Raute are Nepal's only remaining nomadic hunter-gatherer tribe, known for their unique, traditional lifestyle and forest-based livelihoods. They are recognized as an endangered and minority group by the Nepali government, which also provides them with social security allowances. Their population is small, numbering just over 500, and they are facing increasing pressures to settle down and adopt more modern lifestyles.
