- Legenda: Surkhet (Nepal), 24/04/2025.- Raute women build a house for a bride and groom at their temporary camp in Girighat, Surkhet, Nepal, 19 February 2025 (issued 24 April 2025). In the Raute community, it is the women’s responsibility to clear the land and build the new camp when the group migrates, as well as to construct a special shelter for the bride and groom during marriage ceremonies. Nepal’s last nomadic tribe, the Rautes, are facing a sharp population decline, with numbers dropping from 566 in 2021 to just 137, according to the Social Service Centre (SOSEC) Nepal. While younger members advocate for education and change, elders remain determined to preserve their traditional way of life, rejecting permanent settlement, agriculture, and formal schooling.
