Calling themselves the “kings of the forest,” the Raute are Nepal’s only nomadic tribe. They live in primitive camps in remote parts of the forests in Western Nepal.

The Raute are hunter gatherers. They are known for subsistence hunting of monkeys. They use tree trunks for the making of bowls and boxes, which will later be traded for rice, clothes, etc.

They move from one place to another on a regular basis, which takes between one week and two months or a day after a fellow member dies.
