Goatherd guides his herd to lower pastures for grazing (1)
The goatherds undertake to graze herds belonging to various villagers in the upper reaches of the mountains from April to November. They remember which goat belongs to which villager - without any written record - incredible. If two goats look very similar then they are branded with a little bit of paint. At the end of November they bring them down and hand them over back to their owners and collect Rs 150 for each goat for the entire six months. Any newly born are cared for until the owners can come and collect them.
