Which of the following community practices transhumance?

Options:

Gaddis

Gond

Bhils

Santhals

Correct Answer:

Gaddis

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Gaddis

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. Similarly, in the tundra regions, the nomadic herders move from south to north in summers and from north to south in winters.
