- Legenda: Kathmandu (Nepal), 24/04/2025.- Raute youths Gika Sahi (L) and Deepak Sahi visit the aviation museum in Kathmandu, Nepal, 06 February 2025 (issued 24 April 2025). The Raute group was in Kathmandu to participate in the White House College Literature Festival to share insights about their lifestyle. 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 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.
