The Gaddis are semi-nomadic tribes who rear the sheep and goats of Kangra and Chamba districts in Himachal
Pradesh who move their livestock from one grazing ground to another in a seasonal cycle, to plains in winter and
hilltops in summer.

"Gaddi‟ is derived from Mount Kailash which is the seat or throne (Gaddi) of Lord
Shiva. The people who found refuge and settled in Bharmaur (in district Chamba), the territory of Lord Shiva‟s
Gaddi, came to be called as the Gaddis. #gadditribe#gaddi#pastoralism#fao
