The Raute are a nomadic indigenous group in Nepal, primarily living in the forests of the
mid-western region, including Dailekh, Surkhet, Salyan, and Jajarkot districts. They are
known as “forest dwellers” and maintain a traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle. The Raute
rely on the jungle for food, making wooden utensils, and bartering them for grains with
local villagers. Despite modernization, they resist settling permanently and continue their
migratory way of life. Their language, culture, and traditions are unique, with a strict
social hierarchy and a deep respect for their leader, the “Mukhiya.”
