Swampy land in an arid landscape with a deserted nomad village in the foreground. Bikers camp nearby - stock video

A high altitude valley in the Indian Himalayas. The valley floor consists of bleak arid swamp land with the occasional pool. In the foreground can be seen broken down huts and houses in a semi abandoned village. The roofs have caved in on many of the dwellings, but some are still habitable in the summer months. The huts are used by nomads when they graze their animals in the region. A group of motor bikers have arrived at their camp site along with their support off road vehicles and ATVs. Their Royal Enfield motorbikes are parked up by them. They have set up camp in the green but arid valley in the Leh region of the Indian Himalayas. They relax and discuss the days adventure as food and drinks are set out on the camp table. In the background are the tents where they will sleep the night. Nomadic pastoralism is a form of pastoralism when livestock are herded in order to find fresh pastures on which to graze. Strictly speaking, true nomads follow an irregular pattern of movement, in contrast with transhumance where seasonal pastures are fixed.[1] However this distinction is often not observed and the term nomad used for both—in historical cases the regularity of movements is often unknown in any case. The herded livestock include cattle, yaks, sheep, goats, reindeer, horses, donkeys or camels, or mixtures of species. Nomadic pastoralism is commonly practised in regions with little arable land, typically in the developing world, especially in the steppe lands north of the agricultural zone of Eurasia.[2] Of the estimated 30–40 million nomadic pastoralists worldwide, most are found in central Asia and the Sahel region of West Africa. Increasing numbers of stock may lead to overgrazing of the area and desertification if lands are not allowed to fully recover between one grazing period and the next. Increased enclosure and fencing of land has reduced the amount of land available for this practice.
