Correct Answer

transhumance

Movement in search of pastures is undertaken either over vast horizontal distances or vertically from one elevation to another in the mountainous regions.
The process of migration from plain areas to pastures on mountains during summers and again from mountain pastures to plain areas during winters is known as transhumance.
In mountain regions, such as Himalayas, Gujjars, Bakarwals, Gaddis and Bhotiyas migrate from plains to the mountains in summers and to the plains from the high altitude pastures in winters.
Transhumance is deeply rooted in the cultural and historical traditions of many societies, including those in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. It plays a significant role in the heritage and identity of some communities.
Transhumance can be economically important, as it allows herders to make the most of available resources and adapt to changing environmental conditions. It also enables the production of goods like dairy products, meat, and wool.
