Strange tribe migrates every time someone dies

The Raute tribe has a tradition of burying the dead in an upright position in the hope that they will soon be able to go to heaven. After completing the burial, all the inhabitants of the Raute tribe will leave to live elsewhere to avoid evil spirits.

Hidden deep in the Himalayas, the area of ​​Nepalese territory exists a nomadic tribe called Raute , famous for its many exotic customs.

The Raute Tribe does not have a fixed residence.Whenever a tribe has died, all residents will leave their old place and find a new place to avoid evil spirits.

In particular, the Raute people continue to bury the dead in a vertical manner (instead of lying horizontally as usual) and piercing the spears through the skull of the dead in the hope that they will soon be able to go to heaven.

The Raute people live on hunting and gathering.They ate monkey and monkey meat - a controversial affair in Nepal, where Hinduism predominates and monkeys are considered to be the embodiment of God Hanuman.

These photos were taken by Danish photographer Jan Møller Hansen. According to Jan, the Raute tribe considers themselves the King of the mountains. He said: "But the Raute people want to live in harmony with other tribes but they are afraid to go to school and are afraid of settling life. They think their ancestors are royal and high-class."

The Raute people do not have much property.They only own but what they can carry on their backs.In the rainy season, they often choose high places to live.By winter, they moved to live in the rainforest.

When Jan approached the Raute, they totaled only 156 people.Others were supported by the Nepalese government.

The Raute people have very limited contact with outsiders.Photographer Jan had to bring a rooster to the tribute to Mayn Bahadur Kalyal to ask for his permission to enter the village to contact the people.

The Raute people do not have historical books and books, so they only remember the ancestors of about 4 generations.

The Raute people worship the sun and moon gods and also have their own ways to reach the gods.

Although nomadic life is very difficult when the water source is increasingly polluted, many forests are destroyed ., but the Raute people are still resolute and endeavoring to preserve their own identities.
