Abstract
In the Yasin River Valley of Hindu Kush Mountains region of Pakistan, transhumance is an old practice in which herders seasonally move to predetermined places without vacating or abandoning their original home. Only a few members of the family move in seasonal settlements and come back to their villages within a specified time. In Yasin River Valley there is a village called Barkulti Bala. It is inhabited by the Shahbalis tribe. This tribe practices transhumance. Recently, a cultural change has begun in the village at a rapid pace. The age-old practice of transhumance is in disarray. It is time that this old practice be recorded before it completely disappears.
