The Rautes are one of the most typical indigenous groups of Nepal sustaining their unique cultural identities for generations. They are the only nomadic people in the country who never settle permanently in any particular place. The Rautes deny any idea on permanent settlement, education or agriculture. The fact that the Rautes, the last fulltime nomads of Nepal, have survived into this century is truly remarkable in our current period of diminishing cultural diversity. It is estimated that the total population of Rautes in Nepal is about 180, or roughly 52 families. The mid-western region of Nepal remains their only sanctuary.
This documentary is probably the first documentary on Raute tribe that have succeeded to film all aspects of Raute community, their life and their values and philosophies, perspectives of general people towards them, their hardship and their expectations, etc. The documentary was actually video reporting on part of research, "Conservation For the Endangered Human Species" by Contemporary Vision Nepal for UNDP/GEF.
Watching this video is the best treat to yourself for the day.
